Introduction
The AIDS week business Bannerthon idea has appealed to the concerned yet
competitive spirit of South African businesses. thus evoking their need to be
involved in a meaningful challenge to address the real threat that AIDS is to
our businesses and our country.
The launch of the first AIDS week Bannerthon took place in 2001. The concept
was developed to get the business community to visibly show their solidarity and
support in the war against AIDS whilst simultaneously raising money for AIDS
orphans.
This was achieved through many businesses participating in a novel and highly
visible "Bannerthon" conceptualised to achieve the following
objectives:
|
|
|
Create visibility and awareness of the Annual International AIDS
Week by
companies surrounding their grounds with at least 100 meters of 800mm wide
Banner Roll printed with the latest "Aids Day Slogan" and new design.
|
|
Encourage participants in a "Bannerthon Challenge" to
also participate.
|
|
Make a meaningful monetary contribution to the innocent victims of this
pandemic - namely AIDS orphans. The goal being to raise funds by
contributing 15% of Banner Roll sales to selected AIDS orphanage homes.
|
Help Support Aids Orphans and Make a
Difference
The success of this worthwhile and unique challenge is dependant on the South
African Business community rising to the challenge and being part of the effort
to help raise a Million Rand which will be split amongst several organisations
nationally that care for HIV / AIDS orphans. These organisations have been
chosen to represent a fair spread across all provinces. Only 1000 companies
purchasing an average of 100 meters at R4350.00 (excl VAT & delivery) will raise a million
Rand for AIDS orphans.

Practical Implementation of the Challenge
The AIDS banners are to be displayed from the beginning of AIDS week (first
week in December) until Christmas break. We need to secure orders and
payments early to practically print,
deliver and process orders to achieve our goal of getting over 1000 companies to
participate in the Bannerthon Challenge.
With the above in mind and based on our previous experience we are approaching companies
throughout the year so that this years National AIDS week Business Bannerthon will be an overwhelming success
and we will achieve our goals being:
|
To raise a million Rand for AIDS orphan homes. |
|
Show business's visible concern and support of AIDS week / day to their
staff and public. |
|
Build a "Bannerthon" spirit of companies challenging each other
to help achieve our virtual Bannerthon goal of
300 km and thereby create the
unity and camaraderie needed to fight this pandemic. |
