Cummins to sponsor 250th anniversary celebrations

Cummins has signed up a sponsor for America250, the national celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The Columbus based engine manufacturer announced today that the sponsorship is meant to reflect the company’s belief that national moments of reflection and renewal matter and that business has a role to play in helping shape what comes next.

According to the announcement, America250 is bringing together public- and private-sector partners to engage Americans across the country in honoring the nation’s history while inspiring service, innovation and community engagement. It is a national, nonpartisan organization established by Congress to lead the anniversary’s commemoration.

Rosie Rios, chair of America250. said in the released statement that Cummins’ “continued leadership will help inspire Americans to celebrate our progress while advancing the innovation and collaboration that will shape the next 250 years.”
