Today on World AIDS Day, MAC is putting out the call  to everyone to do their part in supporting the fight  against HIV/AIDS. Why buy a Viva Glam product and what exactly does it do?  Check out the Top 5 reasons to buy a Viva Glam  lipstick/lipglass – today and any day! 1. Today is World AIDS Day. What better way to  show your support than by buying a product that  supports HIV/AIDS with 100% of the selling price  directed to the M·A·C AIDS Fund?! 2. A purchase with a tangible effect. What exactly  does the $17.50 you pay for your Viva Glam lipstick do? For men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in North America, one Viva Glam lipstick can pay for: 8 individually tailored, nutritious home-cooked meals 1 week’s supply of groceries (about 4 bags of food) for 2 clients 14 blood glucose monitoring strips Fuel for MANNA trucks for 37 deliveries of nutritionally sound meals A Sunday meal for 5 people at the Denison Residential Housing Program in Toronto 1 Hospitality Kit containing personal hygiene and grooming essentials for a client entering a  housing program For men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS internationally, one Viva Glam lipstick  can provide: 2 children with 2 meals per day at Noah’s Ark for 1 month 1 pair of school shoes for a child orphaned by AIDS Support and education for 5 pregnant women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, giving them the tools  to prevent transmission to their unborn child   3. Support the M·A·C AIDS Fund and the Viva Glam Program. Since 1994, the Viva Glam  program has raised $190 Million (USD) for HIV/AIDS organizations globally. MAF offers  a large number of grants to these organizations and the money helps these charities in a variety of ways. Here in Toronto, MAF donates to a few different groups, two of which (Casey House and Fife House) are hosting World AIDS Day events at which a number of M·A·C employees  are volunteering. Casey House is a specialty hospital for people living with HIV/AIDS and Fife  House is a homeless outreach program/residence for people living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto.  M∙A∙C artists from Toronto will pitch in to help at Casey House for their annual Voices of Hope  concert, and at Fife House to treat residents and clients to a spa day.  Along with their  skincare tips and products, M·A·C is also bringing a $50,000 check to donate to Fife  House this afternoon, on behalf of the M·A·C AIDS Fund! 4. Raise awareness. Ever get questioned about your fabulous lip colour? What better way to  raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and M·A·C Viva Glam than by letting your lipstick do the  talking?!  Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper, our fabulous Viva Glam spokespeople, have a limited edition lipstick and lipglass available that they helped to design! This year, they are  focused on raising awareness of HIV/AIDS with the female population. Forget the stereotypes.  Women are more likely to become infected with HIV than men. While the overall rate of  new HIV infections has slowed, the number of women infected with HIV is growing. And in  every part of the world.  5. Gifts the give back. Throughout the holiday season, there is even more that you can do to  raise money for HIV/AIDS. M·A·C offers a Viva Glam lip bag and Sir Teddy, perfect stocking  stuffers that support the M·A·C AIDS Fund with 100% of the selling price directed to  organizations helping people living with HIV/AIDS.
