TORONTO - CTV stars including "Corner Gas" actress Tara Spencer-Nairn and members of the "Degrassi" cast will be getting their hands dirty in an effort to help raise awareness and funds for AIDS research and services.
Kiehl's has invited the Canadian celebs to its Queen Street West store in downtown Toronto for World AIDS Day Monday to dip their hands into red ink and place their prints on a Kiehl's Commitment to Community quilt, which will be on display at all of the company's stores.
The quilt will be collected and sewn together by noted New York fashion designer Derek Lam and auctioned off for YouthAIDS, Population Services International's HIV-AIDS prevention initiative which reaches more than 600 million young people in 60 countries.
World AIDS Day also marks the launch of a global campaign which will see all Kiehl's stores in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal raise funds through the sale of the Limited Edition Lip Balm No. 1.
One dollar from each sale of the lip balm will be donated to the Canadian Aids Society, a national coalition of more than 125 community-based AIDS organizations from across the country.
