Sometimes when it comes to doing a good deed, the best thing celebrities can offer is not just money, but themselves. Charities automatically cultivate relationships with stars for their ability to increase the public’s awareness of their charitable endeavours and thus help in stimulating more donations. It has been seen that many celebrities take time out of their busy schedules to do charitable acts throughout the year.

The Designers Against AIDS (DAA) a non-profit organization which has run a number of successful campaigns such as Fashion against Aids, seeking to mould the opinion of the public and have also collaborated with several fashion houses, such as H&M, who will soon be launching retail outlets in India next year.
