Fundraising Event Sponsorships

Be a sponsor for our annual SAL Gala: Words Bloom. As a SAL Gala sponsor, you will enjoy visibility with both the more than 500 event attendees and SAL’s more than 33,000 patrons. A sponsorship provides you with the unique opportunity to connect with the Puget Sound community—one of the top literary and most well-read areas in the country, according to multiple national rankings – by showing your support for the literary arts and youth literacy.
