They say that anyone on Earth can be connected
to any other person through a chain of six people, which means that NO ONE is
really a stranger.
Based on this idea, the number of
people in the chain grows through every contact so in a short amount of time, the set
of acquaintances become the entire human population. So… we are really
all connected.
How does this pertain to you?
There is a 6 year-old little girl in Africa
infected with HIV/AIDS—and five people later, it could be reaching your
boyfriend, your sister, your mother, your father.
AIDS is no longer just a dietary candy, nor is
it a disease that’s gender or race specific. It no longer singularly
devastates the lives in Africa. All of our lives are impacted by AIDS both
subtly and overwhelmingly.AIDS has killed more than 25 million people
worldwide making it the most destructive epidemic in recorded history. In
2005 the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million lives of which, more
than 570,000 were children.
Everyday more than 2,000 kids are infected with
the HIV virus.
AIDS is
beyond a cause, it’s an
emergency!
Hint Mint and ChicBlvd.com hope that by starting a
train of AIDS Awareness across America, a Gesture of Kindness movement
will be sparked that will take on a life of its own to save lives all over the
world.
On World AIDS Day--December 1st 2006--Hint Mint
and ChicBlvd.com will launch the first annual, CarryATin4Aids
Campaign.
Beginning with Actor Jesse
Bradford from Bring It On and
Olympian Maurice Green, 48
additional individuals will be carefully selected to begin an
awareness chain. They will receive a uniquely
numbered Limited Edition AIDS Awareness Tin,
take one mint and pass along the tin. The ultimate goal is
for the participant to inspire 34 more people
(whether they be friends, family or random
encounters) to do the same until ultimately, 35 mints later, the now empty tin
is sent to the office of YouthAIDS/ PSI in Washington, DC on or
before January 1st, 2007 deadline.
For every Limited
Edition Tin that arrives at YouthAIDS, pledge amounts
submitted by individuals via HintMint.com will
be donated to YouthAIDS and Compassion International. In addition, Hint
Mint is donating 100% of all the sales of the AIDS Awareness Tins to help in
the fight against AIDS.
Help spread the word. Share this message with 5
five people in your life and you’ll be doing your part to help save
millions of lives around the world. This email WILL come back to you—and just
maybe by the person you’d most like to
meet.
Visit www.chicblvd.com/aids to find out more ways to take a stand, carry a
tin, purchase a tin, make a pledge and enter to win
$5,000 in RED prizes.
When an Awareness Mint is serendipitously
offered to you, act responsibly.
Pay it Forward,
