PAWTUCKET, Rhode Island — The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health (the CSPH) has announced System Jo as a fundraising partner for its “Giving Tuesday” campaign today.
The intimate lubricant manufacturer will be matching donations, dollar-for-dollar up to $2,000, raised by the organization, on this day dedicated to champion charitable giving.
"We are endlessly grateful for System Jo's generous matching gift pledge this ‘Giving Tuesday,’” said Kayla Wingert, executive director of the CSPH. “Our programs and services are made possible through the support of individual donors and partners like System Jo. Gifts made on ‘Giving Tuesday’ will support CSPH programs, such as our twice-annual Sexual Attitude Reassessment, our national Study Sex College Tour, and our sex therapy services. We hope you will join System Jo in supporting comprehensive, medically accurate and pleasure inclusive sex education, by making a donation this ‘Giving Tuesday.’"
United Consortium CEO Mike Woolard added, “At System Jo, our commitment to enhancing sensual experiences is our passion. That's why we're proud to support the Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health on ‘Giving Tuesday.’ Since its founding in 2010, The CSPH has been providing pleasure-inclusive sex education across the country, and offering sliding-scale sex therapy services to low-income individuals and couples. We couldn't be happier to match gifts dollar-for-dollar made to the CSPH today. Please give generously."
According to a rep, the CSPH will be aiming to raise $4,000 in one day on “Giving Tuesday;” System Jo will match donations up to $2,000. The CSPH will also have giveaways to thank those who donate $100 or more; donors will be entered to win 1 of 25 prize packages, which include System Jo products, chocolate and a CSPH tote bag.
“Giving Tuesday” is a part of a larger fundraising campaign the Center is running between Nov. 21 and Jan. 3, to raise $25,000 to support the CSPH's programs and services.
If the CSPH meets its overall goal, 20 percent of funds raised will be donated immediately between three organizations: Life After Hate, the Women of Color Health Network and Project Weber/Renew.
The CSPH is also asking donors to answer the question "Why do you fuel sex-positive sex education?" on social media, using the hashtag #PoweredByYou.
