Cuff bracelets have been hot since spring 2008 and continue to be so going into fall, but now you can wear a stylish cuff on your wrist knowing you have contributed to a good cause: fighting AIDS.

ALDO has again teamed up with YouthAIDS, an educational program that utilizes the media, pop culture, sports, music, and theater to spread prevention messages and services in hopes of fighting the widespread AIDS epidemic. The YouthAIDS campaign reaches 600 million young individuals in more than 60 countries.

Some quick facts about AIDS:

• Every day over 6800 people contract HIV. 5700 people die from AIDS each day.
• 33.2 million people are living with AIDS.
• AIDS kills one child every minute.

What You Can Do to Help

When you purchase one of ALDO’s limited edition “Love for Life” AFA cuffs for only $5, 100% of the net proceeds are used to benefit the global YouthAIDS campaign. There are three styles to choose from: a silver- or gold-toned cuff “for her” featuring artwork created by children of the Rebero Orphan Center, or a black rubber wristband “for him” adorned by a silver-toned plaque also designed by the children of the Rebero Orphan Center.

You can purchase the $5 “Love for Life” cuffs online through ALDO’s website or at an ALDO location near you. These stylish cuffs will undoubtedly become a conversation piece among friends and strangers this season and will give you the opportunity to urge others to contribute to this worthy cause as well.
