Sponsorship Opportunities

Your brand. Our community. One unforgettable evening.
 

For over 13 years, The REAL Program has been on the ground in Lynn — building readers, feeding kids, stocking Little Free Libraries, and earning the kind of grassroots support that doesn't come from a marketing budget. It comes from showing up. Every single day.

Now we're taking that energy to the water — and we want you on board.

Set Sail for Literacy brings together hundreds of supporters, community leaders, and families who believe literacy changes everything. With your sponsorship, your name sails alongside them.

Why sponsor Set Sail for Literacy?

  • Align your brand with a trusted, community-rooted nonprofit with 13+ years of impact in Lynn

  • Get your name and logo in front of an engaged audience across social media, email campaigns, event signage, and printed materials

  • Receive recognition aboard the Hannah Glover on the night of the event

  • Be featured in dedicated social media posts, email blasts, and our Supporters Banner

  • Enjoy complimentary tickets at the Admiral and Harbor Master levels

  • Feel the kind of ROI that doesn't show up on a spreadsheet — but shows up on a kid's face when they open a book

Sponsorships range from $250 to $5,000

 

Five tiers — Deckhand, First Mate, Captain, Admiral, and Harbor Master — each with escalating visibility, recognition, and impact.

 

This isn't just a logo on a banner. It's an evening that celebrates your commitment to literacy — and a community that will remember you showed up.

Sponsor logo deadline: June 10, 2026
