Hi everyone! Sorry we're a little late to post, but we had a GREAT time doing the Great American Condom Campaign at Wesleyan.

I'm the student director of ASHA (AIDS and Sexual Health Awareness) a community service group that focuses on giving young people (in both high school and college) the tools and resources they need to make good decisions about their sexual health.

This semester we had our second ever SAFE SEXFEST - bringing together campus and community groups for a month of workshops, fundraising events, and lots o' free condoms!

Check out our poster!

We had a great time at all the events - and we had an especially great time giving out FREE condoms and other safe sex supplies (supplied by the Planned Parenthood of Southern New England - thanks!).



We jazzed up our condoms a little with some helpful tips - check it out!




Our table was a big hit!
 

The month of events was really successful. We raised over $800 for Planned Parenthood, tested students and community members for STI's, distributed hundreds of condoms and Guides to Enthusiastic Consent, and got our campus thinking and talking about keeping it safe and sexy. Thanks so much to Trojan and Advocates for Youth for making this possible!!

XOXO

-Lena Solow, director of ASHA at Wesleyan University

p.s. shout out to Sue, Sara, Carrie, Emily, and Hannah - the incredible ASHA Core members who made this whole month possible!
