The operating cost for the Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival runs about $30,000 to $35,000. Stage equipment, promotional posters, permit fees, insurance and even office supplies are all made possible by the kind and generous support of our Corporate Sponsors. Past sponsors have included Anheuser-Busch, Asian Avenue.com, Bell Atlantic, IBM, the Manhattan Borough President, Met Life, and Prudential Life Insurance.

We would like to invite you and your company to take part in this special celebration which is the largest Pan Asian outdoor event on the East Coast, attended by over 10,000 people. Corporate sponsorship gives a company an opportunity to increase their visibility within the Asian Pacific American community. Corporate sponsors are acknowledged throughout the publicity campaign and the festival. In addition, the company's logo is displayed on stage as well as on all promotional materials including this website.

Asian Pacific Americans represent one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. With over one and a half a million Asian Pacific Americans now living in the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, they account for about 5.6% of the region's total population with household incomes 22% above the national average. In fact, New York state has the largest Asian population second only to California.
