Freeport, Grand Bahama -  The Red Rose Ball Committee a non-profit Committee made up of Business Professionals within the community of Freeport, Grand Bahama has over the years offered their services free of charge to assist with AIDS Awareness within the community. The committee has been in existence for the past (14) fourteen years. We took on this initiative to assist in fundraising efforts against the fight of HIV/AID in our country, and like most of the world, we are beset by this menacing problem that is still ongoing, so we decided as volunteers to take a stand.

We are grateful to StatOil, BORCO and Polymers International for their overwhelming support to this cause; we are pleased to inform the public that while construction is still on going to bring the Center to completion with these companies support we were able to secure all the proper windows for the building.

Over the past years we have reached out to our supporters via e-mails, radio, written correspondence and oral communication, you have always responded with kindness. The Red Rose Ball Committee is ever so gracious for the support andcommitment to the eradication of HIV/AIDS through your support of our Annual Fundraising events.

With this, we say "Thank you!" for believing in us, thank you for 14 years of patience and understanding, 14 years of foundation laying, 14 years of information gathering and disbursement, 14 years of allowing us to entertain you in response to your generous support. In January 2013 we began construction and we are happy with the strides we have made with the help and support from you our supporters. We do understand the difficult times a lot of persons/business in the community of Grand Bahama is facing due to the layoffs and down turn of our economy, but somehow you still find the time to support endeavors for a healthy Bahamas.
