Our theme this year is “Let There be Peace on Earth.” Founded in 1909 as the NAACP, we continue to work to promote equality and bring attention to the importance of eliminating systematic racism and discrimination, in communities across the United States. This event will be one of our major fundraising events of the year. The proceeds will benefit activities in our community to ensure political, educational, social, religious and economic equality for all and eliminate race-based discrimination.

Through events such as the NAACP Multi-Cultural Holiday Celebration and Silent Auction and with the continued support from our local community and friends we can work to further achieve our goals. “We can change the world from San Luis Obispo County.” On behalf of NAACP San Luis Obispo County Branch, we would like to thank you in advance for your donation and support and wish you love and blessings through the holiday season and much success in 2023.

Join us as we celebrate diversity! Sincerely, Stephen Vines, President
