Freddie Mercury AIDS Quilt Panel part of Red Ball Fashion benefit

Red Ball launches World AIDS Day awareness with the display of AIDS Quilts created for Freddie Mercury, from the Band Queen, and renowned artist Keith Haring. The panels are part of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt and will be on display the evening of Red Ball, Sunday November 18 at the EXDO event center.

In the 1980’s AIDS claimed the lives of designers, including Chester Weinberg, Perry Ellis, Willie Smith and many more creative men and women in the fashion industry.

A Note From Executive Director Zakery Ferry

Every year, the Lion Project’s board of directors select a cause that has either moved our hearts collectively or an adversity our society is enduring. For 2019, they have selected to focus on the country’s silent killer – mental health.
