Starting today, businesses worldwide can sign up to join the global campaign, which raises money and awareness by simply adding a (RED)-inspired item to food and drink menus.

Joining Mario Batali in support of the campaign are a number of today's most world-renowned culinary figures, including Paul Qui, April Bloomfield, Dominique Ansel, Sanjeev Kapoor, Anthony Bourdain, Jose Andres, Art Smith, Michael Mina, Enrique Olvera, Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo - and many more.
