(RED) Press Kit 2011 by RED

NEWS -- Since it launched in 2006, (RED) has generated more than

$170 million for the Global Fund and more than 7.5 million people have been reached through (RED) supported AIDS grants in Ghana, Lesotho, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia.

-- THE AIDS FREE GENERATION IS DUE IN 2015: Every day more than 1,000 children are born HIV positive around the world. But with access to antiretroviral medication a pregnant mother can prevent the transmission of HIV to her child. With continued focus and funding to organizations like the Global Fund, in 2015 we can have a world where virtually no child is born with HIV. (RED) and the global health community are working together to help make this possibility a reality.

NEW PARTNERS: -- (PENFOLDS)RED launched their partnership at the Palm Springs Film Festival in January 2011. The partnership features wines with distinct flavors including the (PENFOLDS)RED Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet and the (PENFOLDS)RED Thomas Hyland Riesling. -- In September 2011, Belvedere will launch their BELVEDERE (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition bottle in 26 markets worldwide and Nanda Home will launch their (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition Clocky & Tocky alarm clocks. -- In December 2011, FEED Projects will introduce the FEED (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition LOVE 30 Bag.

WHAT IS

(RED) is a simple idea that transforms our incredible collective power as consumers into a financial ™ force to help others in need. Some of the world’s most iconic brands have become (PRODUCT)RED partners. Apple, Beats by Dr. Dre, Belvedere, Bugaboo, Converse, Dell, Nike, Penfolds, Shazam and more recognize that (RED) is a business model that is right for their brands, their consumers, and the world. Our partners create unique (PRODUCT)RED branded items and services and send up to 50% of the profits from the sale of those items to the Global Fund. (PRODUCT)RED items don’t cost more than non-(RED) items so shoppers can choose (RED) at no extra cost. 100 % of the money goes to the Global Fund, the recipient of all (RED) funds, and is put to work on the ground towards HIV/AIDS grants.

AN ATTAINABLE GOAL (RED) is joining the leaders in the global health community, with a commitment to address one key aspect that affects several of the articulated Millennium Development Goals: we are working towards the virtual elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015. Today and every day more than 1,000 children are born HIV positive around the world – needlessly. But with access to medication a pregnant mother can stop the transmission of HIV to her child. When an expecting mother has access to the necessary medicine, not only can her child be born healthy, but she will also be healthy enough to care for her child. -

This goal is within our grasp. With increased funding, we could see this possibility become reality as early as the year 2015. Every (PRODUCT)RED purchase gets us closer to realizing an AIDS Free Generation in 2015.

The time is now. As a way to raise awareness and to educate people about the possibility of eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV in 2015, (RED) enlisted numerous street artists, painters, illustrators, photographers and sculptors to

(RED) IMPACT – THE OGORI FAMILY MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER The Ogori family understands the importance of preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Their son Bright, born before Beatrice was tested, is HIV positive and on antiretroviral (ARV) medicine. Their youngest son, Herbert, is HIV negative due to prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Beatrice was treated at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana, a hospital that receives funding from (RED) financed Global Fund grants. She received ARV medicine through her pregnancy with Herbert. The medicine, combined with safe delivery and safe breastfeeding techniques, helped to ensure that he did not inherit his mother’s disease. Beatrice has high hopes for both her sons – that Bright will become an engineer and Herbert a doctor.

(RED) IMPACT – RUTH AND BERNADETTA ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT Ruth is HIV positive and due to prevention of mother-to-child transmission intervention she was able to deliver an HIV negative child. Ruth was put on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment while pregnant with Bernadetta to help lower the viral load in her body. After birth, Bernadetta was also given ARV medication specifically formulated for infants. Bernadetta was tested periodically until she was 1 1/2 years old. Today, Bernadetta is 6 years-old and HIV negative. She enjoys all subjects in school where she can visit with her friends. Her favorite game is Ludo, a board game that she plays with Ruth. Ruth and her husband hope to have another child and are working closely with their physician.
