San Antonio Gears Up for Periodpalooza Fundraiser!
Mark your calendars, San Antonio! The eagerly anticipated Periodpalooza is just around the corner. On Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Brick at Blue Star (108 Blue Star) will transform into a hub of generosity and solidarity as community members come together to support a worthy cause. This donation-based fundraiser is focused on collecting a year’s worth of menstrual supplies for local students.
Bring Your Supplies, Join the Fun!
Entry to this fantastic event is FREE, but there’s a small twist! Attendees are encouraged to bring along essential menstruation products like pads, tampons, liners, menstrual cups, or period underwear. What better way to have a great time while helping others? So grab your friends, family, and neighbors, and let’s make a difference together!
Who Will Benefit?
The supplies collected during Periodpalooza will specifically support three local institutions: East Central High School, Young Women’s Leadership Academy, and the Department of Defense Youth Program — STARBASE Kelly. The goal is not just to collect a few items here and there; the aim is to gather enough supplies to keep these students adequately stocked for an entire year. Now that’s what we call a serious commitment to menstrual equity.
A Community on a Mission
Periodpalooza isn’t a one-and-done event; it collaborates with local organizations to ensure that the needs surrounding accessibility to menstrual supplies are addressed consistently. Recently, the team joined forces with the Alamo Area Rape Crisis Center to package 200 “emergency period kits,” aimed at helping middle school students who might otherwise face challenges during their menstrual cycles. This thoughtful initiative highlights the ongoing need for menstrual supplies in many communities and seeks to bridge that gap.
