OUR STORY

(RED) was created by and in 2006 to transform the collective power of consumers into a global force of critical, lifesaving aid. (RED)

BRAND GUIDELINES 2019 GUIDELINES BRAND We work with the world’s most iconic — including Apple, , Belvedere Vodka, Bank of America, and more—to develop (PRODUCT)RED branded products and experiences that, when purchased, trigger corporate giving to the Global Fund.

With these contributions, the Global Fund finances programs in sub-Saharan Africa, which provide HIV+ pregnant women access to the lifesaving medication they need to ensure their babies are born HIV-free. P. P.

CONSUMERS & BUSINESSES INTO LIFESAVERS,

AND GLOBAL INFLUENCERS INTO INSPIRED VOICES. P. P. 6

(RED) 2019 GUIDELINES BRAND OUR PROGRESS

In 2000, 1200 babies were born with HIV every day. Today, that number has reduced by nearly two-thirds. We can get this number to zero.

That’s great progress, but it’s not enough. The transmission of HIV from moms to their babies can be stopped in 95% of cases if an HIV+ pregnant woman has access to lifesaving medication, which costs as little as 20 cents a day.

Every generation is known for something. Let’s be the one to deliver an AIDS free generation. P. P. 7 (RED) DOLLARS AT WORK
