Fundraiser Overview
Purpose and Mission: As we ring in the New Year, Abimbola is on a mission to empower teen menstruators with reusable, chemical-free products that will last 2-5 years. This fundraiser aims to address period poverty, spread New Year joy, and ensure menstruators have access to sustainable and safe menstrual products. Your support will help create a brighter and healthier future for menstruators in need.
Organizers and Partners: This impactful event is hosted by Mariam Oyinloye and Abimbola. We’re collaborating with community-minded businesses to make this initiative a success.
Connection to the Holiday Season: The New Year is a time of giving, renewal, and hope. By supporting this fundraiser, you contribute to a healthier future for menstruators while embracing the spirit of giving. We’re expanding partnerships with restaurants to offer multiple pick-up locations, making the packs accessible to more people. If you’d like to host a pick-up site, we’d love to hear from you!
