Eckerd Connects Project Bridge in Central Florida, a 501(c)(3) non-profit program, will resume to host our first 2021 Superstar Event, Passport to Success, since the COVID epidemic began early last year.  Our event will be held on May 19th, 2021 at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Orlando I-Drive Theme Parks located at 11545 International Drive, Orlando, Florida 32821. 

All proceeds from this event will help provide educational and vocational support to vulnerable youth in the Central Florida area.  Eckerd Connects Project Bridge provides positive role models and mentors for youth while providing educational and vocational courses and certifications, teaching responsibility and preparing youth for a successful career path.

As a sponsor, your business/organization will benefit from extended exposure through our vast network of supporters and media partners.  Through the generosity of donors like you, who help by underwriting the event, supplying gifts for the silent auction, hundreds of youth in the Central Florida area will be given a second chance and supported on a path to success.   We would welcome the opportunity to receive silent auction items to assist with our event.  Our targeted attendees’ range in the ages of 21-60 and we estimate approximately 70 attendees, while still abiding with CDC regulations.  In return, we will highlight your company as a proud sponsor via our website, Facebook and event program. 

Because of your generous donation, you will bring us one step closer to accomplishing our mission of providing youths with second chances. We are honored to receive your support and appreciate your confidence in our stewardship.  We appreciate your consideration of supporting our first 2021 Superstar event, “Passport to Success” and in supporting Eckerd Connects Project Bridge.  If you are interested in learning more about our organization, you may also visit our website at: https://eckerd.org/juvenile-justice-services/project-bridge/.
