In an effort to assist The Red Pump Project with its incredible mission, JSW Media Group will host The Red Pump/Red Tie Affair on December 1, 2009, which is World AIDS Day. This year’s gala will be a fashion-themed cocktail party, complete with live music and entertainment, as well as a silent auction, an art showcase and a “Rock The Red Pump” mini-runway show. We will honor prominent leaders in the community in their individual efforts to raise AIDS/HIV awareness and education with the inaugural “Red Pump” Awards.
Our 2009 Honoree is Ms. DeVondia Roseborough, Author of "Put it on Paper," a nonfiction memoir describing her life before HIV and after AIDS, and she is also the founder of The Rasberrirose Foundation, a 501c (3) nonprofit organization whose focus is to minister to teenage girls aged 10-18, struggling from self-esteem, with a focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness.
