An Annual Juneteenth Celebration

The Dejanae Events Team had the honor of serving as the corporate event planner for the Clayco Inc Foundation's highly anticipated annual Juneteenth celebration in 2022. With great enthusiasm and meticulous planning for over 5 months, we were able to successfully transform a blank 10,000 sq foot space into a stunning event venue that catered to over 200 esteemed guests. The Clayco Foundation took this joyous occasion as an opportunity to recognize and applaud the significant contributions of six remarkable minority-owned businesses. In a gesture that truly exemplified their commitment to fostering growth and prosperity, the Foundation generously awarded business grants totaling over $100k. Our carefully curated evening of entertainment included captivating performances by The Pack Drumline, the exceptionally talented Yanna Cello, and the renowned celebrity DJ Vince Adams.
