Pride Pak Program
In support of
Pride Clubs and Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) |
The Button Gal is proud to announce the introduction of our Pride Pak Program in support of Pride Clubs and Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) promoting awareness and acceptance in our schools.
How the program works? For every retailer or group that purchases 120 Pride Buttons (one button box), we will set aside 20 buttons to be allocated to Pride Clubs and Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) accordingly. From time to time, we may send some bonus Pride merchandise to help the students with fundraising. The more buttons purchased by retailers...the more Pride Clubs and GSAs we will be able to support!
Who decides which clubs qualify? After a retailer has placed their order, a representative from The Button Gal will ask them to nominate a club of their choice. We will then contact the school administration for information about their Pride Club or GSA, i.e. number of members, and arrange to deliver the Pride Paks to the school. We will never attempt to contact any students directly. If the retailer does not have or know of a club to nominate, we will reach out to one in their area, or default to a club on our waiting list.
How does a club get on our waiting list? If you are a member of your school's Pride Club or GSA, or a faculty member of school with a Pride Club or GSA, or a supporter/parent who knows of a Pride Club or GSA in your area, please let us know. We will then reach out to the schools to learn more about their clubs.
Why have we introduced this program? These clubs provide a safe place for students to meet, support each other, talk about issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and work to end homophobia and transphobia.
By donating marketing tools to help the clubs spread awareness to their friends, classmates, teachers, and their community at large, we believe that future generations will be more accepting of all people, regardless of their identity.
If you have any questions, or require any further information relating to our Pride Pak Program, please contact us.
