Join us by becoming a Sponsor for the Border Patrol Centennial
Since its inception in 1924, the U.S. Border Patrol has had a proud history of service to our nation. Although enormous changes have affected nearly every aspect of its operations from its earliest days, the basic values that helped shape the Patrol in the early years; professionalism, honor, integrity, respect for human life, and a shared effort, have remained. Be sure to lend your voice to celebrate this unique group of men and women who serve this country as the first line of defense at our borders.
The Border Patrol event is organized by the Rio Grande MWR, which is in the process of being established as a 501c(3) organization, meaning that all your contributions are not only for a great cause, but they’re also fully tax deductible.
The Centennial Dinner
With 2000+ expected attendees, your sponsorship puts your name and company in front of the whole range of stakeholders in the Border Patrol universe – from current and past CBP leadership, to patrol agents from all 20 sectors, to state and federal government officials, to a whole host of other important attendees.
