THE RED BACKPACK FUND


As a small, women-owned business, words can’t describe the appreciation we have for our community. We are so thankful for our supporters and couldn’t do what we do without you!

All sappiness aside, supporting small and local businesses is so important; it doesn’t get more real than them. Especially during these ~weird~ times, your love and support mean the world now more than ever.

We’d like to give a special shout out and thank you to GlobalGiving and The Spanx by Sara Blakely Foundation for awarding our founder, Dominique Gonzales, with a COVID-19 relief and recovery grant from the Red Backpack Fund! Out of thousands of small businesses, Dominique’s passion for Root Elixirs and drive to succeed stood out. We’re so proud of Dom and all her hard work.

The Spanx by Sara Blakely Foundation and GlobalGiving teamed up to create the Red Backpack Fund, donating $5 million to support various female entrepreneurs from all over the country. What’s more inspiring than women supporting women?! Absolutely nothing. To learn more about the story behind The Red Backpack Fund, click here.

Dominique was awarded this a few months ago, and thanks to all the support, we’ve been able to keep imbibing and thriving with you! We all need a drink, and we’ve always got you covered.

Cheers!
