NAPA, Calif.—Earlier this month, Magic Wand inaugurated, in honor of Pride Month, its Pride Pin Drive, and now that that month-long celebration has passed, the company reports the success of its drive, which yielded more than $6,000 in charitable donations.
Magic Wand's campaign was an effort to celebrate LGBTQ identities as well as commemorate activism, and the recipients of its drive were California’s LGBTQ Connection and Louisiana’s Forum for Equality.
Vibratex, the official distributor of the Magic Wand Original, Magic Wand Plus and Magic Wand Rechargeable, offered donors a unique Pride pin featuring the Magic Wand, along with other prizes, with proof of donation.
“It was so uplifting to help facilitate support for two wonderful organizations, both of which are doing such important work,” said Vibratex owner and vice president Shay Martin. “We’re so happy that enthusiasm for our wands helped work some magic in support of LGBTQ Connection and Forum for Equality.”
After making a contribution directly to one or both of the named organizations, donors then submitted documentation to Vibratex in order to receive one of the following prizes:
• $10.00 donation: Vibratex matches the donation and the donor received one Pride pin
• $15.00 donation: Vibratex matches the donation and the donor received one Pride pin AND one additional pin of choice
• A $40.00 donation received one Magic Wand Plus and one Pride pin
Unsurprisingly, the $40 prize was the most popular option selected by donors.
“It could’ve been the cuteness of our Pride pin or it could have been the opportunity to get a true Magic Wand Plus in the name of a good cause, but we think it was both,” Vibratex controller Nicole Rosselli said about the $40 prize’s most popular status.
Vibratex offered an assortment of second pin choices to those making a $15 donation. Options included a Yoda-inspired cutie, a Wonder Woman figure, and a Game Of Thrones-type dragon with Khaleesi—but two choices stood out as distinctively in demand.
“People’s second pin choices also said a lot about the viability of women’s empowerment,” Rosselli added. “Our Leia- and Ruth Bader Ginsburg-inspired pins were easily the most popular second selections.”
People who have documented donations to LGBTQ Connection and/or Forum for Equality placed during the Pride Pin Drive time period (June 17 - 30) may still submit their receipt to receive their relevant prize here. Donation documentation will be accepted through July 15, 2020 at midnight PT.
