50th Anniversay Gala Sponsorship Opportunities

We are thrilled to invite you to support Preservation Detroit’s 50th Anniversary Gala on November 5, 2025, at the Dakota Inn Rathskeller by becoming a Gala Sponsor. Your sponsorship helps us celebrate Detroit’s historic treasures and provides essential support for our ongoing mission to preserve the places, stories, and heritage that define our city. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and your generosity ensures that Preservation Detroit can continue its vital work.

This year marks an exciting and impactful 50 years for Preservation Detroit, founded in 1975 as Preservation Wayne, a student organization at Wayne State University. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we have worked to protect historic buildings, support adaptive reuse projects, and raise public awareness of the value of Detroit’s heritage. From hosting exhibitions and lectures to organizing walking tours, our programs connect people to the rich cultural and architectural history of Detroit.

None of our accomplishments over the past 50 years would have been possible without the generosity of our donors and partners. Your sponsorship plays a direct role in preserving Detroit’s history and celebrating its unique stories.

We would be honored to count you among our Gala Sponsors. If you have questions or would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities or other ways to support us, please contact info@preservationdetroit.org. Thank you for considering a donation to Preservation Detroit. We look forward to celebrating with you on November 5th!
