  • Initiatives

    To support the World AIDS campaign under the current theme, "ACT AGAINST AIDS" by:

    • Highlighting our uncompromising commitment to communities by maintaining outreach efforts to stem the AIDS epidemic in our families, communities, country and abroad
    • Implementing impactful activities that align with the World AIDS campaign that focuses on "zero AIDS related deaths"
    • Modeling the leadership we exemplify by knowing and remaining abreast of our own individual HIV/AIDS status and encouraging others to do the same
    Our committee’s theme is “We SEE You!”  This simple but powerful message expresses our empathy and committed support for our brothers and sisters around the globe who live in impoverished conditions without adequate nourishment, education, medical treatment and basic sustenance.  Specific activities are:
    • RED Power Convos, a World AIDS Day initiative to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in our community
    • RED Ribbon Bingo to provide financial support and onesies for infants, children and mothers treated in the HIV/AIDS program at St. Damien Pediatric Hospital in Tabarré, Haiti
    • Medical Supplies to the diabetes treatment program at Rand Memorial Hospital in Grand Bahamas
