Hey, Tampa Bay. You know TBAYtoday as the free newsletter in your inbox each morning, packed with the most uplifting and impactful local news. Our team highlights the best of our city — from events and new businesses to exciting developments and the amazing people who call The Big Guava home.

We have incredible advertising partners that support our mission to bring only the most positive local news and events to Tampa Bay, but sustaining a modern media company requires much more. That’s why we’ve created this reader-driven campaign, with a goal to raise $500 over the next 10 days. If you’ve enjoyed being subscribed to TBAYtoday, found a life-changing concert in our Events section, used our City Guides to plan perfect days with family, or impressed your dinner guests with all the details of that new development you read about — we couldn’t be more honored to be part of your life. And we’re calling on you now to help support our mission.

We are part of 6AM City, a hyper-local media company focused on activating communities through daily email newsletters.

A few reminders about who we are:

We curate local news. No matter which news outlet, community organization, small business, or reader breaks the story — the most positive local news and events worth your attention are curated into our daily newsletter. Our dedicated City Editor lives, works, and plays in [[Greenville]], carrying out our mission to highlight the incredible small businesses, non-profits, and city programs you want to hear about.

We’re committed to maintaining our readers’ trust. Fun fact: Our parent company 6AM City has turned down more than a million dollars in political ads since we started — we’re that serious about our brand promise. We think reading about what’s going on in your city should be a positive experience, not something that rockets your blood pressure before you’ve even started your day.

The truth is, we love what we do. Sharing the most positive local news and events with our readers fuels us every day. If you’ve felt the love for our product too, help us today with a one-time contribution that supports local storytelling.

🏠 Home sweet home-away-from-home

We all need a staycation or a trip to a different city from time to time. Whether you’re a Tampa Bay area local feeling a little cooped up or a visitor looking for a special experience in our beautiful area, picking the perfect home away from home is crucial.
