Where:
THE CENTER
208 W 13TH ST.
NEW YORK, NY 10011
What:
Jampon is a new NYC based non-profit that works to raise awareness, funds, and menstrual products to combat period poverty. Menstrual products raised will be donated to New Alternatives, an organization dedicated to serving LGBTQ+ unhoused individuals.
On October 7th, Jampon will be hosting a Jam for Pads and Tampons at The Center to collect donations. The night will feature NYC performers, artists, music, merch, and more.
We ask that you bring in menstrual products (a box of tampons, pads, liners, etc) to be donated to New Alternatives at the event. At the end of the evening, the funds and period products raised will be totaled and given to our partners.
Since 2018, Jampon has hosted an annual event filled with art, merchandise, poetry, music, dance, and various other performances to raise funds and menstrual products for the Evansville YWCA in Indiana. Since it's conception, Jampon raised over $13k and 25k period products.
Now, we're bringing Jampon to New York for the first time ever! And, we need your help to make this the biggest event yet! Get ready for some spectacular talent, amazing art, and some extra special surprises.
We can't reveal all our cards yet. But, keep a lookout on our social media pages for any updates and sneak peeks to come.

Get to know
the CENTER
Part of Jampon's mission is bringing education and awareness to all the communities affected by menstruation. While widely regarded as a 'woman's issue', Jampon understands that isn't representational of all the lives affected by periods. That is why we're hosting our Jam at the Center.
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Community (The Center) was established in 1983 at the height of the AIDS crisis to provide a safe and affirming place for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. Jampon invites everyone to join in this historic space and jam to end period poverty!
Every year, Jampon releases a T-Shirt to raise money for the event. We wanted to go even bigger this year.
For the first time ever, we're releasing a Jampon storefront! You can now order your official Jampon merch to wear for the big event! That's not all! We've also expanded beyond T-Shirts. You can now get Jampon sweatshirts and tote bags.
Now, the only downside is having to decide which design to pick!
Order your merch today! Please estimate two weeks to receive your Jampon purchase. If you want to get your merch before the event, order before September 23rd.
Proceeds from merchandise sales will go to Jampon's mission to end period poverty.
