Why Sponsor the C.J.B.B.E. Summit?
The C.J.B.B.E. Summit is the only conference of its kind in the Midwest — a free, community-centered gathering that brings together Black families, birth workers, healthcare professionals, and advocates. Year Three drew 200+ attendees from 144+ organizations across 3 days. Year Four expands to a full 3-day summit honoring HBCUs and the Honoring Birth Community United. Your sponsorship funds free attendance, childcare, meals, and programming for every participant.
