(PRODUCT) RED^™ ENGAGES BIG BUSINESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS
(RED) was created by Bono (U2, singer and activist) and Bobby Shriver (Chairman of DATA – Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa). RED engages big business to raise awareness and funds for The Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa. It does this by teaming up with iconic brands such as launch partners American Express, Converse, Gap, Giorgio Armani and Motorola. RED is a branding mechanism which companies license to sell (PRODUCT) RED branded products to raise funds for the Global Fund. Companies whose products take on the (PRODUCT) RED mark make a commitment to contribute a portion of profits from the sales of that product into Global Fund-financed AIDS programs, with a focus on women and children in Africa. (PRODUCT) (RED) is not a charity or "campaign". It is an economic initiative that aims to deliver a sustainable flow of private sector money to the Global Fund.

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.

As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past,

present, and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.
