V-DAY IS A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE IT:
Your beneficiaries are just as important to your V-Day event as your production of The Vagina Monologues if not more important. This is why it's very important you read up on the beneficiary guidelines. As far as donations go, it is not recommended that you support more than 3 charities. If you wish to support only one charity, that is perfectly acceptable.
The subject of spotlight donations is always confusing for organisers. It seems to be that subject where the answers aren't clear. So let us clarify it for you!
1. Are we required to send 10% of our donations to a spotlight charity?
No, Your donations can go to any local organization that works to prevent violence against women. It's only recommended that 10% of your ticket sales be sent to a charity that focuses on the spotlight issue of the year, but it's not a requirement.
A great campaign tool for your organisation
We are thrilled to offer you a copy of the documentary film called ‘Until the Violence Stops' which can be used as a powerful campaigning tool for your V-Day as well as a V-Day event option in and of itself.
We suggest that organising a film screening of this documentary prior to your V-Day and performance of ‘The Vagina Monologues' can help you to:
o Create & reach new audiences
o Maximise awareness & word of your V-DAY
o Boost ticket sales
o Educate
o Inspire your cast/colleagues/friends/organisers
o Encourage others to get involved
o Raise awareness
o Produce funds
V-DAY 2007 BRINGS THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES TO 65 TOWNS AND CITIES ACROSS THE UK.
1st of February marks the beginning of the highly anticipated 2007 V-Day Season.
A new series of performances of The Vagina Monologues have been set up across the UK in order to celebrate women's bodies and create awareness and funds towards ending violence against women. A total of 65 have been set up this year.
Multiple universities and local organisations have been busy organising their own exceptional benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues, most of them running in the period from the 14th February, Valentines day to the 8th of March, The International Women's Day.
The Vagina Monologues book
This collection of monologues has been one of the biggest movements in theatre today. Eve takes us on a journey all across the world, where we laugh, sigh and cry as we hear the stories of women whose vaginas have been oppressed, loved, and forgotten in our male-oriented societies.
The Good Body Book
Eve returns with another riotous and heart warming compilation. But this time it's about her 2nd greatest obsession: her tortured relationship with her post-forties stomach. We follow her from lo-carb diets and marine-level exercise plans, to an ending teaching Eve, and the readers, about the beauty of our bodies.
Come inside the wonderful world of vaginas. This gallery exhibits the creativity and celebration of women expressing themselves through the arts.
V-Day UK is organised by Tender, a charity that works to end violence against women and children. It is your donations that help make it happen, so please join us!
Your desire to help will help us help those who need our support. Give now, and make a difference in the lives of women and children who need your help.
V-Day really appreciates your willingness to help us stop violence against women and children!
It's easy to do and it's for a very important cause, so thank you!
