Whitestone Surf Club Collaboration: Fill it Forward

When considering items to include for our Whitestone Surf Club merch, we chose products that would align with our Surf Club theme and highlighted 2023 trends; while also selecting items that would be practical and useful during our team activities and offsite events. 

 

For our Surf Club water bottle, Whitestone partnered with our friends at Fill it Forward, selecting their classic Reusable Cupanion® Bottle. This durable reusable bottle allowed our team to stay ultra-hydrated and to have a collective impact on people and the planet.

 

While in San Diego, we hosted a “hydration competition” for our team, with the leader receiving recognition, as well as a charitable contribution in their name to an organization of choice. This friendly competition was a fun way to encourage our team and increase the number of scans and reuses!

the app

Showing love for our planet and the people on it. That’s why Fill it Forward created the app that helps amplify the impact of every reuse, allowing users to track their environmental footprint while also contributing to charitable giving projects around the world. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps: 

 

  • Scan with your phone camera each time you reuse, or download the free Fill it Forward app to unlock additional features that track and personalize your ongoing impact. 

  • With every reuse you’ve diverted another single-use item and unlocked a donation to one of Fill it Forward’s charitable partners

  • Together, as individuals, schools, and companies, Fill it Forward has eliminated millions of single-use items from ending up in our landfills and oceans; as well as helped fund hundreds of charitable giving projects.

 

THREE CORE APP FEATURES: 

  1. Eliminate single-use waste

  2. Give back to charity projects – Every scan unlocks a $0.02 – $10.00 donation, which is funded by product sales and corporate partnerships. Our community has donated over $1 million to trusted charitable partners worldwide. Certified by 1% for the Planet.

  3. Connect to community groups – Join Open Groups to see your impact on the reuse leaderboard or set up a Private Group that can be customized with your logo and unique description.
