Paint the Town RED 2025 is Thursday, May 1st
We are currently signing on restaurants, bars, clubs and establishments to participate in Paint the Town RED on Thursday, May 1st. by contributing a percentage of your total sales or a flat fee of $1,000 to benefit AIDS Cares' mission. Through combined marketing efforts (1.3 million on the airwaves and 40,000+ individuals online), we will invite the state of RI to visit your business on Thursday, May 1st.
You Can Truly Make A Change
Sign Up For Our Change Round-Up Program!
When you link your eligible payment card and set your monthly giving level, AIDS Care Ocean State automatically “rounds up” your transactions to the next dollar amount and donates that spare change. For example, if you spend $17.83 at a restaurant on your linked debit card or credit card, AIDS Care Ocean State will add 17 cents to your purchase.
ACOS Needs YOUR Support
Join our Events Committee or Help With Admin Work!
Like most non-profits, ACOS is ALWAYS looking for volunteers. The benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. The right match can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.
