(RED) is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness and funds to help end AIDS. For every (gita)RED sold, $50 is donated to the Global Fund. (RED)-funded grants support a diverse range of life-saving HIV/AIDS programs, including testing, counseling, treatment and prevention programs with a specific focus on eliminating transmission of the virus from mothers to their babies.
(gita)RED is the first capsule collection from Piaggio Fast Forward. The limited-edition robot has all the capabilities of the original gita with signature (RED) styling. The gita robot is a first-of-its-kind lifestyle robot that carries your belongings, empowering you to engage with the people and activities you love most, head up and hands free.
“Partnering with (RED) allows us to give people an incredible product that they feel even better about because of the impact the purchase will make to countless people living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. We are very proud of that.” said CEO Greg Lynn.

Piaggio Group has been partnering with (RED) for 3 years with Vespa Brand and Vespa 946 products. In this time frame, Piaggio has contributed over $350,000 to the Global Fund to fight AIDS with (RED), which is enough to provide just under 2 million days of life saving HIV medication to help prevent mothers living with HIV from passing the virus to their unborn babies. As of 2020, the Vespa range will include a new product, (VESPA)RED Primavera, a global product launch that should guarantee a further boost of donations to the Global Fund.
