12.01.2022 The Red Ribbon Appeal is ACON’s most important annual fundraising campaign, with all proceeds raised going towards community-led initiatives that tackle HIV stigma, prevent new HIV transmissions and support people living with HIV. This year, we’re not able to fundraise like we normally do such as selling Red Ribbon merchandise on the streets, train stations and community hubs, or collecting donations in theatres and productions. But we hope you can still support the Red Rib...bon Appeal by pinning a virtual Red Ribbon and making a donation. Dedicate your ribbon by sending a message of solidarity, support or remembrance. Thank you for your generosity. Big or small every little bit counts. We’re truly grateful for your kindness and support. Thank you for being part of our Red Ribbon movement! www.virtualredribbon.org.au
