We make a difference and embrace the credo of think global, act local.

  • FG Cares About Stopping HIV/AIDS

    Funny Garbage CEO John Carlin started our sister company, the Red Hot Organization, to fight HIV/AIDS through pop culture. Over the years we have supported and inspired each other in innumerable ways and are proud that Red Hot has donated over 10 million dollars for HIV/AIDS relief and awareness campaigns around the world. Sit back, listen to some amazing music, and support the cause for the cure!

    The number of people living below the poverty line has increased significantly over the past couple years, as has the number of children and adults that are hungry in this country and around the world.
