November 2023
In advance of last year's holiday season (2023), we chose to make fleece sweatpants with a new version of our logo because everyone needs warm sweatpants, especially in Vancouver, where it rains all the time. We also chose to make water bottles, but we wanted them to be more aligned with the current buzz circulating around a certain brand’s bottle that fits into cup holders.
We opened the order form in early November, and for the first week, the sales were slow. Maybe that’s because of a lack of marketing, But then word got out and orders came pouring in. Many were from families that seemed to be ordering gifts because they asked for more than a handful of sweatpants in different sizes and also water bottles.
At the end of 2023, we donated about $700 to the St. George’s School Hamper Drive. We were also there volunteering to finish packing up all of the hampers. Many other volunteers were representing Dragon Nation Athletic Wear clothing.
Thanks to everyone who ordered--and we’ll post some info about our next drop in the spring!
