Sponsorship Opportunities
We are honored to invite you to support the Costa Mesa Historical Society’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, a special milestone event honoring six decades of preserving, protecting, and sharing the rich history of Costa Mesa, while honoring the Segerstrom Family.
For 60 years, the Costa Mesa Historical Society has served as a meaningful connection between our city’s past, present, and future. Through our archives, photographs, oral histories, exhibits, educational programs, and community events, we work to ensure that the stories of Costa Mesa’s families, businesses, neighborhoods, and civic leaders are never forgotten.
This anniversary celebration is more than an event — it is an opportunity to honor the people, places, and memories that have shaped Costa Mesa into the community we love today. Funds raised through sponsorships, donations, silent auction contributions, and event participation will directly support preservation efforts, community programming, educational outreach, archive care, and future exhibits.
We invite you to become a valued sponsor or donor for this special 60th Anniversary Fundraising Event. Your early commitment will help us create a beautiful and memorable celebration while maximizing your recognition and impact.
Your support will help ensure that the Costa Mesa Historical Society continues to preserve our city’s treasured history for generations to come.
