TBTN Event Essentials & Risk Management

1. Mission: TBTN Events must support the mission of ending sexual violence in all forms, raising awareness about sexual violence, and supporting survivors.

2. Fundraising: When using the TBTNF name or logo for any fundraiser, you must contact TBTN directly to comply with our legal and financial terms.

3. Publicity: Boost your Event visibility and support. Link your social media and/or website with the Foundation’s social media platforms and site.

4. Event Gear: TBTNF’s name and logo is only permitted on printed posters. You must order shirts and other gear directly from TBTN. We can customize your gear with your slogans, Event name, and logo.
