EDUCATING US
The vision of Project U.S. directly correlates to community awareness and acceptance. Individuals with HIV or other diseases experience stigma and discrimination and may choose not to walk at all for their cause. The same is often true with victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and eating disorders just to name a few. The goal of Project U.S. is to dispel the myths and allow everyone to join together to build bridges and strengthen community connectedness.

UNITING US
Visionary Angela Barnes, President of Project U.S., (pictured left with #38 of the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers Carey Davis) is always meeting broken hearted individuals who not only have HIV, but could also wear 2, 3, even 4 cause related ribbons. She discovered individuals who choose to proudly wear one ribbon however who deny the other ribbons they may carry due to stigma. Ms. Barnes' vision is for "US" to walk as one, support one another, acknowledge all our "ribbons," and connect the passionate people behind so many worthy causes.

SERVING US
The proceeds of "Project RED" for example, as well as so many other fundraisers, are often filtered to those in need in Africa and around the world. However, Project U.S. begins with "us"- dollars raised remain in the "U.S." and the community specifically where the Weaving of the Ribbons Walk is held. The recipients are "us" directly or indirectly. The net revenue raised by this community walk will go back into the community to the cause-related non-profit organizations equally.

It starts with US!
