Kenneth partnered with the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and amfAR to reinterpret the iconic AIDS ribbon. Designed to commemorate the discovery of the virus 30 years ago, and to ignite a new wave of awareness about the pandemic with the next generation, the new AIDS ribbon featured a double loop, and symbolized the coming together of individuals and the re-doubling of efforts in the fight against HIV and AIDS. The ribbon’s launch was supported by a provocative celebrity PSA campaign titled “COME TOGETHER.” The campaign, which aired on MTV channels worldwide, featured a montage of celebrities wearing the double ribbon reciting lines about how, where, and when they like to wear it. Celebrities in the campaign included: Ke$ha, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cyndi Lauper, Estelle, Skylar Grey, Cheyenne Jackson, and Rose McGowan.
