Set the Table: Books
Benefiting: Storybridge
What is Set the Table?
Set the Table is the Amarillo Club's annual fundraiser and is becoming one of our most beloved community events. Open to the public, this year's theme, "Books," invites our talented sponsors to transform their tables into imaginative works of art inspired by favorite stories, authors, and literary worlds.
Guests are invited to stroll through these beautifully curated tablescapes, admire the creativity on display, and cast their vote for their favorite design—all while supporting a meaningful cause. Gather your friends and enjoy an afternoon where literature, design, and philanthropy come together in unforgettable style.

About Storybridge
Storybridge is a grass-roots effort to change the story for our local kids by investing in their access to literacy as early as possible. The model is simple: Collect new and gently used books donated by our community, purchase books with donated dollars, sort all books by age groups, distribute to kids in need through strategic programs (Storybridge, Book Distribution, Kinderbridge, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Little Free Libraries).
Thanks to the help of people passionate about equity in education, we have put over 900,000 books straight into the hands and homes of local children who need them most. Together we are committed to the mission that all children in our city will own at least 20 age-appropriate books in their home from birth through elementary school.

We’re also proud to support local nonprofits in a variety of ways throughout the year and to use our space, resources, and relationships to give back to the Amarillo community.
