Wynonna Has A Message

Hello friends, this is Wynonna, YouthAIDS U.S. Ambassador, and I am asking for your help on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2006!
Did you know…
Youth, between the ages of 15-24, are most at risk for HIV infection.
More than 12 million young people are already infected – that’s one every 15 seconds.
Most importantly, most people infected with HIV don’t even know they’re carrying it.
Join me and thousands of young people across the country on December 1st – World AIDS Day – to do something radical and simple to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS. It’s called Kick Me.
Participation in Kick Me is easy:
1. Visit www.youthaids.org – register today.
2. Download your Kick Me kit (complete with signs, talking points, statistics, cool ideas, PR templates, and tips on fundraising) and get started. Pick from one of six messages, grab your sponsor form and hit the road. For every hour you wear or post the sign, ask friends and family to sponsor you with a financial pledge or simply ask for a flat donation.
3. Wear the sign on World AIDS Day, December 1st. Talk about HIV. Collect your pledges. Send in funds raised to YouthAIDS by December 15th to collect great rewards from ALDO, LUNA, Kiehl’s Since 1851, and SPIN Magazine.
How can you help?
1. Start a team or register as an individual.
2. Distribute fliers promoting registration for the Kick Me Campaign (in your office, your favorite coffee shop, etc.)
3. Email your friends and family.
What is YouthAIDS?
YouthAIDS is an education and prevention initiative of PSI that uses media, pop culture, music, theatre and sport to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and reach 600 million young people in more than 60 countries with life-saving messages, products, services and care.
What is Kick Me?
“Kick Me” is based on the prank of someone sticking a Kick Me sign on someone’s back without them knowing – just like 90% of those infected with HIV/AIDS may not know they are carrying the virus. YouthAIDS is turning that practical joke into a practical lesson.
Join me in the fight against AIDS; we all must be part of the solution.
With love and only love,
Wynonna
