Help Us Sponsor the Sponsors

We're seeking a community partner to host or underwrite the Banned Book Bingo Sponsor Kickoff Happy Hour, bringing together the local businesses and community partners making this community-wide literacy initiative possible.

Businesses are frequently asked to sponsor community events, but they're rarely given meaningful opportunities to connect with the other businesses investing alongside them.

We want to change that.

Before Banned Book Bingo begins, we're creating intentional space for our sponsors to meet, build relationships, network, and discover opportunities to collaborate, not just during this initiative, but throughout our community.

Why This Matters

This kickoff helps participating businesses:

• Build relationships with local, mission-aligned businesses and community leaders.

• Expand their networks through referrals, partnerships, and future collaborations.

• See their collective impact as part of a larger community investment.

• Practice belonging through connection. The people and businesses working to create belonging for others also need opportunities to experience it themselves.

• Start Banned Book Bingo as a community, rather than simply a list of logos on a sponsorship page.

Sponsor the People Behind the Sponsorships

Your support can help provide food, beverages, gathering space, or financial underwriting for the kickoff.

You're not simply sponsoring a happy hour. You're investing in the people who invest in our community.

Strong communities aren't built by organizations working in isolation. They're built through relationships—and when we create belonging among the people doing this work, we strengthen their ability to create belonging for others.

A Sponsorship Built Around Your Business

There is no one-size-fits-all sponsorship package.

We'll work with you to develop a custom sponsorship that aligns with your business goals and provides meaningful return on your investment.

Together, we'll identify the promotional benefits that provide the most value to your business, which may include recognition throughout Banned Book Bingo promotions, social media features, event signage, Sponsor Kickoff recognition, direct connection with participating businesses, and other customized opportunities.

You help us create the space for connection. We'll help make sure the community knows who helped make it possible.
