In May, 111 people either joined the NAAFA POD or increased the amount they commit to giving monthly. Each of those 111 Passionate Ongoing Donors brought in a $100 bonus donation to NAAFA! This is a huge success and we’re so grateful!
Big, fat thanks to our very special incentive donor, Lindsey Fowler, who has been helping us grow our POD for three years. We also thank every member of the NAAFA community who boosted the signal on our fundraiser by helping spread the word, liking and commenting on social media posts, and telling friends about our essential work for fat rights. We can’t do this work without you!
Of course you don't have to wait until our next membership drive, become a POD member today! When you #FundFat everybody wins!
