PDX Red Party

Amber and I represented Moondays at the PDX Red Party on International Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28th.) It was an awesome event and for a good cause. Since I believe strongly that our monthly cycles should be honored and celebrated, I was in heaven at this event that was promoted as a “Party for Your Period!” It was held in the beautiful Tiffany Center in downtown Portland in one of their big rooms. There were many great vendors representing important causes. Each vendor table had some kind of fun activity to participate in, too. Our activity was to write a period-positive message on one of our Moondays t-shirts and we would pick a winner from everyone that participated. One of the booths had a “Pin the Menstrual Pad on the Panties” game set up and there was also an arts and crafts table where you could use feminine products to make art. I was really impressed at how many men showed up to support the event, too!
I was honored to get to speak at the event, to help spread the message of the Red Tent Movement. We met a lot of great people and are looking forward to having some of them join us at our future Red Tents!
There were over 90 guests in attendance and together we donated $342 in cash and 392 menstrual products, and helped pack 905 menstrual care packages for this year's spotlight organization Camions of Care! Tiffany and Cheyenne of Periodic, Inc. did a fantastic job organizing this inaugural event, in honor of International Menstrual Hygiene Day, and we hope they will carry on and make it an annual affair
