The 18th Annual Red Ribbon Ball The Red Ribbon Ball represents Colina Insurance Limited’s vision for corporate philanthropy and, now in its 18th year, is The Bahamas’ largest annual AIDS awareness event and the major fundraiser for The AIDS Foundation of The Bahamas. The 2011 ball is a masquerade event. Our theme, Removing the Mask, emphasizes the continuing need to eliminate the stigma surrounding the condition. Colina’s longstanding involvement with the Red Ribbon ball dates back to 1994 when legacy company Imperial Life Financial signed a sponsorship accord with the AIDS Foundation of The Bahamas to commit human and financial resources in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The company began a series of workshops to increase public awareness and launched the Red Ribbon Ball. In 1999, the company donated a three-building complex in Nassau to the Foundation to be used to support its work. The Red Ribbon Ball has netted more than $800,000 since inception.
