WINGMAN 2024 Campaign Progress!

WINGMAN CAMPAIGN Proudly Supported by:

WINGMAN Campaign

October 1 - November 1, 2024

This fall, join us for the WINGMAN Campaign, a powerful fundraising and awareness campaign dedicated to standing up against domestic violence throughout the month of October. WINGMAN encourages men and women to be allies in the fight against domestic violence, supporting survivors, raising awareness, and driving change in our communities.

This year’s campaign will feature 30 influential Edmontonian men who have taken a pledge to be WINGMEN and unite against abuse.

Are you a WINGMAN?

A WINGMAN is someone who:

  • takes a stand against domestic violence and inspires others to do the same.

  • supports women and children to be empowered to live a life free from domestic violence.

  • encourages the engagement of men in the conversation surrounding the issue of domestic violence through social media posts and Calls for Action to their followers/community

  • is a WINGS ambassador that helps to spread awareness about WINGS' programs, and participates in the WINGMAN fundraising campaign

    We encourage people of all genders to sign up to be a WINGMAN

How to Participate

  1. Sign Up and Set a Goal!

    You can SIGN UP as an INDIVIDUAL or as a TEAM of WINGMEN! Set a fundraising goal (small or large) and help raise funds for WINGS. Use our simple online fundraising platform to help share your message. Consider hosting an event or challenge to help reach your fundraising goal.

  2. Increase Awareness about Domestic Violence

    Throughout the month of October, use the WINGS provided “United Against Abuse” image as your social media profile pic, and share about why being a WINGMAN and supporting WINGS is important.

    Consider snapping a photo of yourself holding a sign with your WINGMAN Pledge, post it on your social media pages throughout October to help raise awareness of the campaign and help raise funds.

    As a WINGMAN I pledge to…

    (ex. “Advocate for more resources and support for victims of domestic violence”, “be an ambassador for WINGS by helping spread awareness”, “help raise more funds to support WINGS programs” etc.)
