Sponsor a Pledge

COMPANIES

Do you have a vegan product you would like to get into hands of your target consumers? The PAN Vegan Pledge is a great way to get your product out to new vegans; the program is often the first exposure these individuals have to vegan products. Donating items for our care package (or coupons in lieu of perishable items) is a great way to help our pledges and get the word out about your product.
Contact us for more information about becoming a sponsor.

Fundraising & Events

In addition to our Vegan Pledge Programs, PAN hosts events several times a year that include everything from pizza parties to Vegfests to magic shows. Follow us on Facebook to participate in upcoming events!
Facebook Birthday Fundraisers are an excellent way to show your support for PAN, and we’ve even paired with local shops to offer goodies when you show them your fundraiser!

Raise Awareness

For folks who have engaged in some level of activism, here are some things you can do to mobilize and encourage others to make the world a better place.

For the People [SOCIAL JUSTICE]

  • Go vegan! For help transitioning to veganism, sign up for a Vegan Pledge in your area.
  • Consume fair-trade chocolate, coffee, and other foods
  • Give food to hungry people
  • Volunteer for Food Not Bombs, or another local agency that redistributes food to the hungry
  • Donate new or lightly-used clothes to the nearest homeless or battered women/children shelter
  • Choose one of these options for donating your used sneakers
  • Summer produce harvest share (collect produce from neighbors and friends and redistribute to Food Not Bombs or other local groups that specializes in distributing food to the hungry)
  • Assemble bags of food and snacks to distribute to homeless (can buy paper bags, loaves of bread, jars of peanut butter and jelly, and granola bars in bulk at warehouse store); this can be a “sandwich-making party” where you and a bunch of friends get together in someone’s kitchen or do it with your family; in just one hour, you could probably make about 50 sandwiches
  • At your next birthday party, ask guests to bring items from one of the following categories:
    • Toiletries, babies’ items for a local women/children’s shelter
    • Clothes for homeless shelter
    • Cat/dog food, paper towels, rags for animal shelter/rescue org
    • Lightly worn or new business attire for Career Wardrobe or other similar org that enables persons to transition into the workforce

For the Environment

  • Go vegan! For help transitioning to veganism, sign up for a Vegan Pledge in your area.
  • Research the gardens in your city and volunteer to weed, seed, water, or plant
  • Compost food wastes instead of discarding them
  • Reduce your carbon footprint by doing any or all of the following:
    • Take your bike instead of your car on your next trip
    • Ride public transportation when you can
    • Transition to a vegan diet
  • Save water by:
    • Running your dishwasher or laundry machines only when loads are full
    • Time your showers with a clock; try to take the quickest shower possible
    • Install more efficient shower heads and faucets
    • Wash dishes, produce, and other items in water basin instead of under running water
    • Repair all leaks (toilets, showers, faucets, etc)
  • Buy organic, non-GMO foods
  • Wear clothes made from organic fibers
  • Reduce paper use by:
    • Reusing calendar, magazine, or newspaper pages for wrapping paper
    • Using the blank side of discarded printed documents for note-taking or coloring paper for children
    • When given a gift, carefully opening so you can reuse the wrapping paper or gift bag for a subsequent gift
    • Contacting vendors and request that they take your name/address off of their shipping lists; request email alerts instead
    • Using cereal boxes for children’s art projects
  • Gather friends and family for a Pick Up Party; go to nearby public area (park, woods, playground, city sidewalk) and pick up and discard litter; just bring plastic gloves and garbage bags
  • Encourage your workplace to “go green” by:
    • Recycling paper
    • Offering perks (like discounted public transit card) to employees to use public transportation
    • Sharing and storing digital documents rather than paper copies
    • Where printing is unavoidable, using the double-sided printing option
    • Encouraging employees to put computer in “standby” or “hibernation” mode when not being used for more than a designated amount of time
    • Installing occupancy sensors so lights go off when no movement is detected
    • Providing washable cups, plates, and utensils in lunchroom
    • Gather your and others’ used household goods and other items and hold a garage sale to benefit PAN.  You will be keeping used items out of landfills, reducing purchases of new items, and raising money for a great cause.

For The Animals

  • Go vegan! For help transitioning to veganism, sign up for the Vegan Pledge in your area.
  • Don’t buy animals from breeders or pet stores, instead…
    Adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue organization.
  • Avoid zoos, aquariums, circuses that use animals, rodeos, and any other organization that exploits animals.
  • Drive carefully: Squirrels, chimpanzees, cats, dogs, and deer sometimes cross streets without looking both ways. Drive at a reasonable speed to avoid them if they cross your path.
  • Apply to VegFund so you can do outreach through videos or food samples.
  • Set up a vegan trivia table at a local event or grocery store.
  • Organize a vegan bake sale and donate the proceeds to your local animal rescue or vegan outreach organization. You can coordinate with the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale.
  • Host a vegan buffet and invite non-vegan friends and offer a variety of vegan recipes for them to try.
  • Volunteer at your local animal shelter.
  • Help care for and get involved in the Trap Neuter Release program for individual feral cats or colonies.
  • Organize a Vegan Commitment Program through PAN.
  • Lead a “Happy Animal Story Hour” at your local library and read books with a vegan message (V is for Vegan, Steven the Vegan, Vegan is Love, etc.).
  • Bring vegan snacks to work to share with your colleagues.
  • Talk to your favorite local restaurant about offering more vegan options on their menu.
