Igniting American Pride: Sponsor the Americanism 250 Initiative
A Patriotic Tribute to 250 Years of Freedom
As we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence on July 4, 2026, the Americanism 250 Initiative, in proud partnership with Exchange Clubs across our nation, invites you to stand tall for liberty, unity, and the enduring spirit of our great nation.
This is more than a campaign—it’s a nationwide movement to honor the values that define America: freedom, family, service, and pride. By sponsoring this initiative, your organization becomes part of a historic celebration that strengthens communities, uplifts youth, and rekindles patriotic spirit across all 50 states.

Meet Liberty!
Liberty the bald eagle is a powerful and patriotic symbol chosen to help lead the celebration of America’s 250th birthday—officially known as the Semiquincentennial, which will be commemorated on July 4, 2026. As the mascot of the Americanism 250 initiative, Liberty embodies the spirit of freedom, resilience, and unity that defines the American story.
Who Is Liberty?
Liberty is not just any bald eagle—he’s a majestic representation of the nation’s enduring values. With his fierce gaze and proud stance, he reminds us of the journey America has taken over the past 250 years. From the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to today, the bald eagle has stood as a symbol of strength and liberty. Excalibur’s presence in the America 250 campaign is a tribute to that legacy.

At the heart of this display stands a remarkable collection of 55 set flag kits—one for each U.S. state, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands — each showcasing an official design of the American flag that has flown throughout 250 years of our nation’s history. Together, they tell the story of a growing nation, symbolizing unity, progress, and the enduring spirit of America.
From the early days of thirteen stars and stripes to today’s familiar fifty-star banner, these flags trace the evolution of a country built on hope, courage, and the pursuit of freedom. Each design marks a milestone in our shared journey—reflecting moments of challenge, triumph, and transformation that have shaped who we are as a people.
More than just symbols of our states and territories, these flags remind us that America’s strength lies in its diversity and its ability to stand united through change. As they wave together, they honor the generations who have defended, built, and believed in this nation—past, present, and future.
Give a Kid a Flag to Wave is a patriotic initiative supported by the Exchange Club as part of its Americanism Programs. The goal is simple yet powerful: to instill pride in country and respect for the American flag by distributing small U.S. flags to children during parades, memorial events, and community gatherings.
Key Highlights:
- Promotes patriotism and appreciation for American freedoms.
- Often held during events like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and 9/11 commemorations.
- Exchange Club members hand out flags to children, veterans, and families, encouraging a sense of unity and civic pride.
- The program is easy to implement and widely embraced by local clubs across the country.
It’s a heartfelt way to connect with the community and pass on the values of freedom and national pride to the next generation.
