Prayer Breakfast Sponsorship

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Association of Asheville & Buncombe County, Inc., seeks corporate partners as co-sponsors of our annual 9MLK, Jr. Celebration, Saturday, January 13, 2019.  The celebration will be held at the Crowne Plaza Tennis and Golf Resort, and the speaker will be Ernest G. Green, one of the renowned Little Rock Nine who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. in 1957. The Prayer Breakfast is usually attended by as many as 1,200 area citizens and community leaders, and is a great way to highlight your commitment to diversity with the citizens of Asheville and Buncombe County.

We continue to depend upon our community leaders and corporate partners to assist us in fulfilling our mission of preserving and advancing the legacy of

"The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Association of Asheville and Buncombe County is part of the community, and our community is a diverse gathering of people who all are affected by gun violence and the trauma it creates. Gun violence does not have a regard for race, age or gender. It's a community issue, and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Association will listen, work and contribute to the efforts of those individuals and organizations that have led in wrestling with this issue over a long period of time. We can all work together to make a difference in our community."

-Dr. Oralene Graves Simmons, President,
