This World AIDS Day and through the holidays, the (RED) Shopathon is packed with so many ways for people to shop (RED), fight AIDS and save lives.
From Amazon.com/RED with gifts that give back with every purchase, to winnable celebrity experiences with U2, Charlize Theron, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Reese Witherspoon on Omaze.com/RED – even brand new (ANDAZ)RED poolside cabanas – every dollar raised during the (RED) Shopathon will be matched by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, up to $15 million.
For the third year, Jimmy Kimmel kicked-off the (RED) Shopathon with a star-packed Jimmy Kimmel Live! (RED) Special on ABC on November 28th. Joined by Bono, Chris Martin, Kristen Bell, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Sean Penn, Ashton Kutcher, Bryan Cranston, DJ Khaled, Rita Wilson and others, the show featured comedy, interviews and closed with an irreverent musical finale.
There are many ways to support (RED)'s fight this World AIDS Day, including:
- Through December 31, shop more than 150 brilliant (RED) products that raise money for the Global Fund to fight AIDS – including fashion, cosmetics, kitchen goods, tech and more – at Amazon.com/RED or via the Amazon App. Giving a helping hand with some 'unusual' shopping questions, Bono, Kumail Nanjiani, Julia Roberts, Olivia Wilde and Chrissy Teigen appear in special '(RED) holiday shopping FAQ' video. As the Official Payment Provider of the (RED) Shopathon, Bank of America will donate 30 cents for every dollar spent on Amazon.com/RED up to December 31, up to $1.5 million.
- For as little as a $10 donation to fight AIDS at Omaze.com/RED, fans can enter to win extraordinary experiences including play mini golf with U2's Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry, getting you're a** kicked by Charlize Theron at a workout session, hitting the red carpet with Reese Witherspoon at the premiere of 'A Wrinkle In Time' or even joining Sean "Diddy" Combs on set at 'The Four' on Fox… and if the winner is really good he'll even change their name!
