Today ONLY: One Second, One Dollar

Fri Dec 01, 2006 at 08:16:23 AM PDT

Today is World AIDS Day.

Bristol- Myers is donating a dollar to AIDS research every time someone goes to their website and moves the match to the candle and lights it. Do a good deed and light this candle...

Remember those that have lost their battle to this devestating disease and give hope to those combating it today.

One Second, One Dollar

Update [2006-12-1 13:46:30 by digital drano]: - The Light to Unite site appears to be down... perhaps overwhelmed by massive interest...  As noted downstream, the light count had hit the maximum that Bristol-Meyers Squibb intended to donate. Thanks to all who participated!!

December 1st was designated International HIV/AIDS awareness day by the United Nations. This is the 19th World AIDS Day and the 25th year since the first case of AIDS was identified.

In recognition of this day Brystol-Meyers Squibb sponsors Light to Unite, an initiative in cooperation with the National AIDS Fund to increase HIV/AIDS awareness in the USA. http://www.aidsfund.org.

Light to Unite is a virtual candle lighting event. You can also read and share stories or make a personal donation. Please share with your family and friends!
