Condomcents machines are starting to be installed! The first machine with my "Chickita" Ad is now on display at the Red Bench Bar on Sullivan St. btw. Spring St. & Broome St., NYC (in the bathroom naturally!!!).

See the Condomcents poster in the "illustration" section below.

Condomcents goal is to raise money for AIDS charities. They are providing a new vehicle to make condoms more readily available and accessible without peer pressure to the individual. They are also linking the profits from these condoms directly to HIV/AIDS charities, to hopefully one day help find a cure. 100% of condom vending profits are donated to charities. With your help we hope to change the world.

LOVE,
PEACE, AND
CONDOMCENTS!
