Make an Impact on Teen Literacy in Tampa Bay
Every partnership directly powers real-world literacy and leadership impact. Your support covers the room, the books, and the authors, so every student walks in free. Join us in empowering the next generation of storytellers!
We want to give a big thank you to our sponsors who have helped us build the foundation for the YA by the Bay book festival. These organizations are helping fulfill our mission to inspire young people to use the power of words and storytelling to achieve dreams, make a difference, and "be the author of your own life."
Help Us Turn Dreams Into Reality
To accomplish our dream of keeping the festival free for students and educators and getting books in the hands of students we need your help!
- Keeping the festival free to students, educators, and readers in our community
- Getting books in the hands of students, especially in underfunded schools
- Developing ongoing programming throughout the year, including professionally publishing a student-written anthology
Sponsor the Story
There’s more than one way to make an impact.
Our sponsors help us bring thousands of students together with bestselling authors, creators, innovators and experiences designed to build stronger readers, communicators and future leaders.
And we don’t believe great partnerships come from a one-size-fits-all benefits list.
