It's all up to you who you ant to give it to:

I can image that you, for instance, want to order t-shirts for the
volunteers (recognizable at the event and a nice
thank-you-for-being-a-volunteer) and as many pens, stickers and buttons
as you think people will be attending you activities.
I don't think the WLM-logo is actually
branded by the WMF yet and therefore does not fall under the Trademark
Policy,
The logo is CC-BY-SA 3.0 + GFDL, with a "no name listing required for
WLM" exception (note you'd still need to provide the license!).

The selling of merchandise on the other hand is a
touchy subject: be
aware that there are rules about what you are and are not allowed to do
with Wikimedia-merchandise. I think "/You may make t-shirts, desktop wallpaper, or
baseball caps with Wikimedia Marks on them, though only for yourself,
your friends (meaning people from whom you don't receive anything of
value in return), and donors and other Chapter or Foundation supporters,
so long as you are giving them away rather than selling them. /
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_policy#Wikimedia_Marks_and_Merchandise>"
is still a nice one to use as a guideline.
Good point. I was considering a price for paying the production costs,
not for getting rich, but it seems that wouldn't be allowed for a WMF
trademark either. It might be allowed if the selling entity were a
chapter, though. You'd need to check the agreement.
Nasty copyright giving us troubles even when we're having fun making
t-shirts :)
