The Collective Sponsorship Opportunity
Thank you for your interest in sponsoring a 2026 Collective Happy Hour!
The Collective brings together socially conscious, community-minded friends who believe access to justice is essential to a thriving Tampa Bay. We’re here to build connections, expand awareness, support civil legal aid, and have a great time doing it.
Your $2,500 sponsorship makes the happy hour possible by covering venue fees, refreshments, and essential event costs for 75+ legal professionals and community influencers.
Our happy hours take place at unique local venues across Bay Area Legal’s five-county service area, and we’re always open to new venue ideas.
Be the center of attention as your organization's name takes center stage with visibility in front of 75+ legal and business leaders.
