RED teams up with FAB.com to save lives

June 6, 2013

Inspi(RED) tote at Fab.com

Many of you may know that I have been involved in DIFFA’s DINING BY DESIGN for over twelve years. Not only is it an unbelievably fabulous design event throughout the US, each city raises much needed funds to continue the fight against AIDS. One often forgets that no cure has been found yet, and countless adults and children currently do not receive the treatment they need to combat the decease. A number of other worthy organizations besides DIFFA are working hard on finding a cure and helping those in need of care.

Among them is (RED), a division of ONE Campaign, founded in 2006 by Bono and Bobby Shriver to engage businesses and people in the fight against AIDS. To date, (RED) has generated an impressive $200 million for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to support HIV/AIDS grants in Ghana, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia.

An easy process with great results

I know you all love to shop, and it is easy to contribute by selecting (RED) products when you shop online. (RED) has partnered with Fab.com with a special sale where up to 50% of profits will go to the Global Fund. Take a look at some of these FAB (RED) items.

Also, Bed Bath & Beyond offers the (RED)EEM gift card. For each $ 25.00 gift card $ 1.00 will go to the Global Fund.

So add some red to your home and wardrobe and shop (RED)!

Happy Memorial Day!

Dyed rice votives by “Today’s Creative Blog”

Memorial Day, originally called “Decoration Day”, is upon us, and while we remember the men and women who died while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States, we also celebrate the beginning of Summer, which always includes a feast. I thought I would share how some of my fellow bloggers set the stage for the event.
