We Are Together




“Cinema at its most inspirational”
- David Edwards, Daily Mirror
“Genuinely Heartwarming”- Matthew Leyland

(RED) UK is proud to promote this award winning film, which follows the extraordinary journey of the children of the Agape orphanage in South Africa.
With most having lost their parents to AIDS, the children form a choir and use the power of their collective voices to overcome grief and inspire courage and joy in each other. The film follows their remarkable journey to New York where they raise awareness of the impact of AIDS though song.

Filmed over three years with unforgettable characters, soaring music and a plot full of surprises, We Are Together is a stirring documentary.

California Wildfires: How You Can Help from Anywhere

California Wildfires: How You Can Help from Anywhere

Direct donations remain the most powerful way to make a difference. In addition, however, new websites are providing even more ways to make an impact.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ --

As wildfires continue to ravage Southern California, many Americans are searching for ways to help the millions of Californians affected by this disaster.


For organizations responding to the needs of the wildfire victims, monetary donations remain the most powerful way to make a difference. Thanks to the internet, making a donation is now easier than ever. The American Red Cross, for example, accepts donations through their website at www.redcross.org.


Fortunately, however, giving no longer has to stop with writing a check. One new website, SmartRaise.com, is giving internet users everywhere an additional way to make an impact in California. SmartRaise works with hundreds of leading online retailers to generate charitable donations whenever its members shop online. Membership is completely free.


SmartRaise has designated a special fund to help raise money for the victims of the California wildfires. This fund allows individuals to raise money whenever they shop with the stores listed at SmartRaise.com. Shoppers pay the same prices they always would and get to help make a difference with every purchase they make.


All funds raised for this cause will be donated to the American Red Cross and directed for use in the California wildfires disaster. SmartRaise has also pledged to donate an additional 20% on top of any amount that is raised for this cause through its program. SmartRaise.com is not officially associated with or endorsed by the American Red Cross.
