If you do not know already, RED™ is a NPO (non-profit organization) dedicated to eliminating AIDS/HIV in Africa; for years Africa has persistently been affected by the diseases. The funds ROBLOX donates to RED™ will go to The Global Fund, a 21st century organization designed to diminish the AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis epidemics in numbers.
There are struggling children, adults, and families struggling in Africa since they do not have the medical development alike us, Americans, to fight these diseases. For just a simple ten percent of your BC revenue, you will be helping out a lot. It could be great publicity too!
I am aware that this movement will not come easy in any way and the steps along the way will be complex, however, I do know that a movement like this is certainly a step in the right direction for ROBLOX.
Thank you for your time reading and feel free to leave any support below. :)
[Disclaimer: In no way shape or form am I partnered directly with RED™ and its establishment.] |

| Support! It would be cool to have RED Builders Club to help aids! Maybe people who buy BC that during the RED period would have a RED colored BC stripe instead of a blue (for BC), orange (for TBC), or black (for OBC) stripe. |

@MrSeven Awesome idea, dude! We could have a cool red website theme for awhile.
@zombie. Yep! That's where I got the idea from. It's nice to see such a big business making an effort! |

...Aids really in 2000-2013 life didn't care about aids now we just let a color try and change it Thats really sad real sad
I wish someone would create blue to stop red
Call me heartless but guess what 3 words I DONT CARE.
Plus many kids don't even know what aids is so why should we do it? |

| @Brady, RED™ was founded in 2006, not just 2014. Anyways, kids actually do know about AIDS/HIV. If some don't then it is critical they do for awareness purposes! |

Why? so we can help out others to stop aids, You know you are lucky you are posting this comment lot's and LOT'S of people would want to be you to have the ability to have this technology, because they just don't have the technology as we do and the wealth. What if you where a poor African child and you got aids, How would you treat it if you have no money? So be lucky you don't have aids and that you are behind a screen (Roblox).

Roblox won't create another BC as stated in the WNTS, but I'm sure there are other ways Roblox can support RED, kinda like the ALS Ice Bucket gear.

Thanks for the support!
I'm not asking for a new BC though. I'm asking for them to take a percentage away from the BC revenue they earn and donate it. |

Support!
I'd have an actual reason to waste my money for BC. Because, 10% of it wouldn't be wasted.
Seriously, if I worked long enough, I could just buy OBC Lifetime on a bunch of accounts. Not only would I be getting loads of R$, but I'd be donating $100+ to RED™ for AIDS/HIV.

| 20% is good! Any more than that may hurt ROBLOX financially though. |

| Because if it were only ten percent, A single 1 month BC membership would only donate 60 cents, while if it was 20 percent, it would donate at least $1.20. |

Good point, Rit.
And $1.20 times, say, 500,000 purchases a year(Estimation) is $600,000. Of course, half of it would still be $300,000, but still, that's more than my family gains in 10 years. And, that's not even including things like OBC for a year, or Lifetime of anything, really... So, yeah, if ROBLOX contributed even 5% of it's earnings, they could donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity, let alone 20%.

Or... They could use their profit of BC/TBC/OBC users now to donate to any organizations supporting what's happening in all sorts of countries around the world.
