Welcome to the DCS family!
Thank you for joining us to help raise awareness for mental health issues.
We have hosted over 170 pop-ups and are excited for you to get involved!
Here is the recipe for a successful DCS pop-up:
1) Choose your local CHARITY
Communication is key
Make sure they will partner with you, provide support and have a presence on the day of your event
Inquire whether they have a marketing/publicity arm that can help you promote your shop
Ask for an annual report so you know where your money is going
Ask if they have toolkits, pamphlets or supplies you can use
2) Keep DCS HQ in the loop! Please fill out and submit this form so we can help you promote your shop and add your info to keep our pop up list updated:
3) Recruit some VOLUNTEERS
Popping up a shop is fun, but it’s even more fun if you have a partner or two to help figure out the logistics
