Kaleidoscope Social Dance Red Party for World AIDS Day

Kaleidoscope Social Dance presents their World AIDS Day event - Red Party #2.

Matthew Mitcham, Charlotte Dawson and Peter Everett selling Red Ribbons at Taylor Square on 1 December 2008.

The Red Ribbon Appeal raises money to fight HIV/AIDS and to help people living with the virus.

Each year ACON, the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) and Positive Life NSW host the Walk for AIDS to raises much needed funds for services for HIV positive people.

The Royal Botanic Gardens provide a wonderful backdrop for a leisurely stroll (or jog!) over 2 km.

The AIDS Candlelight memorial has been held annually for over 15 years. It is the time when members of the community can come together and reflect on and remember all those who have died from HIV/AIDS.

At the memorial, names are read out by a cross section of the community, including family members, partners, young and old.
