An Annual Affair

Second Annual Tailgate For Kids

We’re thrilled to announce the return of Tailgate for Kids, now benefiting PEAK Literacy!

This high-energy fundraiser supports our mission to empower young readers across Alachua County. Join us for an unforgettable game-day experience featuring Gator Football on the big screen, delicious food and adult beverages from local vendors, tailgate games, a silent auction, and more!

Your participation helps fund the critical literacy programs that ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.

Why we do it

PEAK Literacy empowers children who struggle with reading to become confident, independent readers. We provide one-on-one, evidence-based reading instruction through trained community volunteers who are passionate about helping kids succeed. Students who commit to the program faithfully see an average of 1.2 years of fluency growth in just 12 weeks. By partnering with schools, families, and community organizations, we give students the support they need to catch up, keep up, and thrive!
