TAMPA, FL, November 2023: Tampa-based creative and marketing ad agency BKN Creative is thrilled to participate as a Silver sponsor for the 2023 Equality Florida Gala, the largest civil rights organization dedicated to securing full equality for Florida’s LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, the agency was selected to design a brochure featuring inclusive messaging and artistic elements to illustrate the sponsorship opportunities Equality Florida offers. The gala will take place on Friday, November 10, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Shanna & Bryan Glazer JCC.
“As the largest LGBTQ+ agency in Tampa, we are proud to support Equality Florida and join them in their fight to protect the rights of our LGBTQ+ community,” says Brandon Tydlaska-Dziedzic, CCO of BKN Creative. “We are thrilled to be a sponsor amongst so many other incredible organizations and celebrate who we are, who we love, and the outstanding work that Equality Florida does for the community and how they are working towards transforming Florida.”
This year’s gala celebrates the organization’s resistance and fierce fight for equality. The evening will recognize and honor The Ybor City Nine, a group of drag artists and political activists who have made outstanding contributions to LGBTQ+ equality. Joining BKN Creative as a sponsor includes organizations such as the Tampa Bay Lightning, Disney, the Tampa Bay Rays, the Vinik Family Foundation, and more.
Through lobbying, grassroots organizing, education, and coalition building, Equality Florida is changing Florida so that no one suffers harassment or discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
