The Red Ribbon Cabaret was first conceived in Blackburn as 'Aid for AIDS' in 1992, in response to a friend of the original event organiser being diagnosed HIV positive. Tony Abbott was from Blackburn, and the trust fund that was initiated in his name was to support people living with HIV in the Blackburn area.Through the original 'Aid for AIDS' event and subsequent annual Red Ribbon Balls, over £11,000 was raised for the trust in Tony's name.
