(RED) harnesses the power of people and companies to fight AIDS. (RED) partners with the world’s most iconic brands that contribute profits from the sale of (RED)-branded products and experiences to the Global Fund.
To date, (RED) has generated more than $600 million for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to support HIV/AIDS grants in Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, eSwatini, Tanzania and Zambia. 100% of that money goes to work on the ground—no overhead is taken.

Bravo to the South Hampton Chamber of Commerce Long Island NY for this clever holiday themed display to promote breast cancer awareness. A month-long series of “Paint the Town Pink” events and activities aimed at highlighting the cause and combating breast cancer follows a pink tree lighting event on October 1. Throughout the month of October, village trees will be lit in orange during the day, because they appear pink, and pink lights at night.
Surprised to find a thriving lavender industry with fields on the North Fork of Long Island. They have a van that sells lavender products on weekends. Creative idea to plant a non-native plant and make it a commercial enterprise.
