Washington, D.C. — June 3, 2026 — America250, the national nonpartisan organization charged by Congress to lead the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, today announced Johnson & Johnson as a national sponsor of the historic milestone.
A global leader in healthcare spanning innovative medicines and medical technologies, Johnson & Johnson has more than a century of commitment to advancing the nation’s health, innovation and community impact as the country prepares to mark 250 years of independence.
“As we mark America’s 250th anniversary, sponsorships like this highlight the organizations that have shaped our nation’s health and well-being for generations,” said Rosie Rios, Chair of America250. “For 140 years, Johnson & Johnson has been widely recognized for its legacy of innovation and impact. Together, this sponsorship celebrates that history and the spirit of progress that will help guide America into its next 250 years.”
Through interactive programs, storytelling, service opportunities, and national moments, America250 brings Americans together to celebrate a shared history and build a stronger nation for generations to come.
During the Semiquincentennial year, Johnson & Johnson will participate in key America250 observances and service initiatives, encouraging Americans to gather, reflect, and give back. Through its J&J CareCommunity program, the company will mobilize employees in community health, disaster response, and local volunteer efforts, advancing its commitment to service as a driver of stronger, more resilient communities.
“This milestone is a powerful reminder that the nation’s progress has always been fueled by innovation, resilience, and a shared commitment to improving lives,” said Joaquin Duato, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Johnson & Johnson. “At Johnson & Johnson, we are proud to be part of that story, advancing healthcare, expanding access, and investing in the people and communities that will shape the next 250 years. Partnering with America250 is an opportunity to honor our history while helping build a healthier, more equitable future for generations to come.”
Johnson & Johnson’s sponsorship also reflects its commitment to advancing a new era of American progress through innovation in healthcare. To support the next generation of transformational care, the Company is investing $55 billion through early 2029 to expand U.S. R&D, manufacturing, and technology, building state-of-the-art facilities and creating thousands of high-skilled jobs and strengthening American communities.
