COMMUNITY SPONSORS:

BACK A CAMPAIGN THAT MEANS SOMETHING

Red Alert 2026 is a Toronto period poverty campaign in its fifth year. Every August, we deliver full-year care kits to teenage girls across the city: pads, comfort items, handwritten & encouraging notes from a community of women who've been where they are.

 

This year, we're covering 50 girls. And we're building the boxes with a small group of brand sponsors who want to show up where it counts.

​

what we're looking for:​

We're building each Red Alert box to carry a girl through a full year of periods without gaps. The pads are covered. Here's what we'd love sponsors to fill in:

  • Feminine washes (unscented, teen-friendly)

  • Wipes (individually wrapped, purse-sized)

  • Hand sanitizers, lip glosses, mini lotions etc.

  • Event Space (for The Note Writing event in August, approx. 25 women)

  • Other in-kind contributions that align with the mission, we're open to conversations

 

All items must be new, sealed, and appropriate for teen recipients. Product minimums flexible depending on category.

 

what's in it for you:

  • Featured logo on the Red Alert 2026 campaign page

  • Dedicated social post on Oh So Dope announcing the partnership

  • Acknowledgment at The Note Writing event in August

  • Social media inclusion in campaign coverage and recap

  • Photo, video and outcome usage for your website, social media and internal communications

  • First right of refusal on sponsorship for Red Alert 2027

FAQs

Q: Can we send a representative to The Note Writing event?
A: Absolutely. We'd love to have you there. Send us their name once we've confirmed sponsorship and we'll add them to the guest list.

 

Q: Can our rep take photos at the event to use in our internal or external channels?
A: Yes, please. Tag @ohsodope.co when you post and we'll amplify.

 

Q: Can we share and repost photos and content from the campaign?
A: Please do. All Red Alert 2026 content is yours to share on your brand's socials, website, and internal channels. The louder the campaign gets, the more girls we reach next year.

 

Q: Can we include Red Alert stats and impact reports in our internal comms?
A: One hundred percent. Once the campaign wraps, every sponsor gets a full recap deck with numbers, photos, and a written impact summary. Use it in your team emails, board updates, ESG reports, wherever it's useful.

 

Q: We'd love to contribute funds instead of product. Is that possible?
A: Yes. Red Alert isn't a registered charity, so we don't issue tax receipts, but here's how it works: you can send funds via EFT, e-transfer or cheque, and we'll use them to purchase specific items for the boxes. You get itemized receipts of everything we bought with your contribution for your records. Alternatively, we can send you direct Amazon links so items ship straight to us — same outcome, less paperwork on your end.

​

Q: Can we sponsor an entire box or a group of boxes for specific girls?
A: Yes, and this is one of our favourite ways to sponsor. Let us know how many girls you'd like to cover (one, five, ten, all fifty - whatever fits your budget), and we'll email you a custom shopping list: direct Amazon links to every item that goes in a Red Alert box, with exact quantities based on the number of girls you're sponsoring. You order, everything ships directly to us, we pack and deliver. You get a full accounting of what was purchased for your records, and full credit for the girls covered in our impact report.

 

Q: What's the deadline to sponsor?
A: Ideally by August 14 so we can feature you on the campaign page and social media during the campaign. That said, we'll take late sponsorships through August if there's still box space to fill.

​

Q: How is our brand featured?
A: Featured logo on the Red Alert 2026 campaign page, a dedicated announcement post on our Instagram, acknowledgment at The Note Writing event, mention in campaign coverage, and inclusion inside every box we deliver, meaning every recipient physically touches your brand. 

​

Q: Can we sponsor again next year?
A: Yes, and we'd love that. Sponsors get first right of refusal on Red Alert 2027 before we open sponsorship publicly.
