The holiday season is finally upon us, and with it comes the magic of twinkling lights, the scent of pine in the air, and the joyful buzz of gift-giving. This year, make gift-giving even better with the (RED) Holiday Edit. For the second year in a row, the (RED) Holiday Edit is offering myriad ways to join the fight against AIDS. From cool tech to fashion and grooming, fragrance to rides on two wheels and four, there is something for everyone on your list. Put purpose into every purchase this holiday when you SHOP (RED), you SAVE LIVES.

The (RED) Holiday Edit is your definitive guide to supporting the fight against global health injustice this holiday season. Once again, this exciting campaign is generously supported by Merck (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada).

Merck has generously supported (RED) over the past several years during key moments like Pride and also year-round. Merck’s support of the (RED) Holiday Edit campaign will allow (RED) to engage even more holiday shoppers and raise even more money in the fight against the global health injustices that allow pandemics to thrive.

Through this campaign, Merck has announced an additional $600,000 contribution to the Global Fund’s Africa Frontline First Catalytic Fund, bringing their total commitment to $1,000,000.

Launched in 2023, the Catalytic Fund aims to build resilient and sustainable community health systems across 8 countries in Africa – Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Senegal, and Zambia.

This generous contribution will help provide health workers with proper training, equipment, and support, while ensuring they are properly paid for their work. Thanks to the support of (RED) partners like Merck, the Catalytic Fund is helping to empower these community health workers to take charge in the fight against AIDS.

Thank you Merck, for your continued dedication to (RED) and the fight to strengthen global health systems!
