We are pleased to provide an opportunity for citizens to request special proclamations to honor occasions of importance and significance to Sunnyside residents, increase public awareness of issues to improve the well-being of the residents of the City, and recognize and celebrate the extraordinary achievements of Sunnyside residents and Sunnyside non-profit organizations.

• Please ensure that the request is submitted at least 30 days prior to the proposed proclamation date. 
• All requests should clearly include the contact information and affiliation of the person submitting the request and the person(s) accepting the proclamation.
• Requests should include draft language and background information about an exceptional event and a sponsoring organization that could be used to prepare the proclamation.
• Proclamations do not automatically renew. Requests must be made on an annual basis.
• We are unable to accommodate proclamations for out-of-community events or for-profit causes.
• We ask that international groups requesting proclamations have an in-city sponsor.

Submission of a proclamation request does not guarantee issuance. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the City Clerk's Office at (509) 836-6310 or jrenteria@sunnyside-wa.gov.
