This post is about a group of college students from FACEAIDS who took on the task of studying what companies fight against AIDS. What they found was that many companies donating money were not the ones that they expected to find. Another thing they found surprising was how many large and recognizable charities did not provide enough transparency about their work, nor do they share information on how much money goes to charity versus other areas like salaries or overhead costs.
Casinos: Online & Offline
Casinos are known for their luxury and wealth, but did you know some of them also help people with AIDS? They donate to charities, hire people with disabilities and/or help raise awareness about the disease. Here are a few examples:
- Bonza Spins: the Australian top-rated gambling portal donates annually to AIDS charities. You can find out more about them by visiting Bonza Spins website.
- The Imperial Palace Casino (Las Vegas): This land-based gambling venue regularly donates $50K annually to AIDS charities through its charity arm called IMPAC. This organization was started in 1987 by Frank Fertitta Jr., the current president of Station Casinos Inc., who wanted the company’s charitable efforts to focus on helping those suffering from HIV/AIDS. Since then it has become one of the most generous donors among Nevada casinos. In addition to this monetary donation, IMPAC hosts events such as an annual AIDS Walk & Fun Run each March in support of HIV/AIDS research programs at UNLV; these events have raised over $1 million since they began 26 years ago! Turning Stone Casino (Verona): When Turning Stone opened its doors in 1993 — the first year there were no major casinos outside Las Vegas.
Are Fashion Companies Fighting AIDS?
Fashion companies that donate to charities: Many fashion companies donate clothes, money and even the proceeds of sales to fight against AIDS.
Fashion companies that sell products to raise money: Some fashion brands sell special pieces in order to raise funds for charity organizations fighting against AIDS. For example, one of the most popular brands sells a limited edition t-shirt and donates some of its profits to an organization fighting against AIDS in Africa.
The company also encourages customers to donate directly on their website if they want to support the cause but cannot afford buying one of these shirts or accessories with a higher price tag than what is usually found on their website’s main page!
Fashion companies that donate clothes: There are many ways in which you can give back by simply donating some old clothes lying around your closet! Fashion companies often organize drives where they collect all kinds of garments from individuals who want them recycled into new items like dresses made out of fabrics containing different materials such as cotton or polyester blends (which means having both fabrics incorporated into one).
Sometimes these donations come back as new items sold at lower prices but at other times they may be reused as swatches used by tailors working in upscale boutiques across Europe who specialize in making custom suits tailored specifically for people with needs such as those who suffer from chronic conditions like diabetes while also being extremely active members within society.

What Does AIDS Stand for?
AIDS, or the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, is a disease that affects the body’s immune system. The immune system is responsible for protecting our bodies from harmful diseases and infections. If your immune system doesn’t work properly, you can get sick easily and develop life-threatening illnesses like cancer and HIV/AIDS.
The immune system works by producing antibodies to fight against germs (microbes) that enter the body through food we eat or air we breathe in order to protect us from getting sick. When someone has AIDS, their body has difficulty fighting off germs because their immune system has been damaged by a virus called human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS when it infects healthy cells in your bloodstream.
When this happens, they are unable to produce enough antibodies needed to fight off infections since they lack enough healthy blood cells which are called T helper cells (or CD4). These T helper cells help create antibodies so if there aren’t enough circulating around your bloodstream then you’ll be more susceptible to catching viruses like influenza or pneumonia!
