Mission:

The Arizona America250 commission is established to plan, develop, encourage and coordinate the commemoration of the two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United States and the impact of the citizens of this state on the nation’s past, present and future.

Vision:

To illuminate Arizona’s untamed spirit of independence, the 250th celebration will serve as the cornerstone for a statewide commemoration that uplifts the voices of all Arizonans, drives innovation, preserves history, and forges lasting connections. Together, we will tell our state’s story.
