11th Annual Ribbon of Hope Celebration

Here Networks will broadcast the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' 11th Annual Ribbon of Hope Celebration on December 1 in conjunction with World AIDS Day.

For the second year in a row, Here networks will team up with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the academy's community service committee, Television Cares, to tape the 11th Annual Ribbon of Hope Celebration for and broadcast. The December 1 event, to be held at the Television Academy's Leonard Goldenson Theatre, will be edited for later broadcast (free of charge for viewers) on Here's cable, satellite, and broadband outlets.

The Ribbon of Hope Celebration honors media companies, programs, producers, and individuals whose personal and professional commitment continues to keep HIV/AIDS awareness in the forefront. Originally named after the iconic red ribbon that has become the global symbol in the fight against AIDS, the annual Ribbon of Hope Celebration will be celebrating its 11th anniversary this year. Previous HIV/AIDS program honorees include 60 Minutes II, 20/20, Hallmark Hall of Fame's The Blackwater Lightship, ER, Everwood, Sex and the City, The West Wing, and the HBO film Angels in America.

This year Ribbon of Hope will present a Special Achievement Award to the groundbreaking series In the Life for 15 years of excellence in documenting the HIV pandemic. In addition, honors will be bestowed upon HBO for the acclaimed film Life Support; BET, in association with the Kaiser Family Foundation, for 106 & Park: World AIDS Day Special; Lifetime for Girl, Positive; TLC for Ashley Judd & YouthAIDS; Showtime for 3 Needles; and Here Networks here! Focus on HIV/AIDS.

"The significance of the Ribbon of Hope taking place on World AIDS Day once again presents an important opportunity to renew awareness while addressing the complacency that currently hampers HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and treatment efforts around the world," said Paul Colichman, founder and CEO of Here Networks. "In that vein, Here is honored to be partnering with the Television Academy once again on this important event, and thrilled to be able to make this celebration available to Here's nationwide audience and the global online community."
