NOT FOR SALE: ROAD TO REBBL In June 2012, Causes and Not For Sale partnered to launch the Road to REBBL campaign on Causes. Not For Sale, a nonprofit fighting against human trafficking, wanted to build a community of cause supporters
around its efforts to launch a social enterprise called REBBL.
REBBL is a tea company that is creating jobs for people vulnerable to trafficking in the Peruvian Amazon.
GOALS for the Road to REBBL Campaign
BRAND AWARENESS FUNDRAISING
Raise awareness about REBBL and Not For Sale’s
efforts to fight human trafficking in the Amazon.
Raise money to fund Not For Sale’s efforts to source
ingredients for REBBL, in the Amazon. As a thank-you gift, the consumers received a 4-pack of
REBBL tea.
