Word Play, our annual gala based on a crossword puzzle competition, is coming up on July 1st. This year, we are partnering with University of South Florida Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders to bring the event to downtown St Pete. We are kicking off the July 1st weekend with a celebration of independence for people with aphasia, and competing to be Crossword Puzzle champions! Our crossword is custom-made for us by New York Times crossword puzzle constructor, Kevin Christian. Tickets are available at wordplaytampabay.com
