11/09/2008: "Too cool and for a good cause..."

I went to Hallmark today to get my yearly ornaments and found this one and just loved it. (RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT) RED-branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT) RED product sold is given to The Global Fund, to invest in African AIDS programs, with an emphasis on women and children.

Starbucks and (RED) announced a multi-year partnership that will give coffee lovers a chance to do good every day. Throughout the holiday season, Starbucks will contribute five cents from the sale of any of (Starbucks) RED Exclusive beverage (the three beverages that make up the Starbucks popular holiday trio) at all of their US and Canadian stores to the Global Fund to invest in AIDS programs in Africa.(Starbucks) RED Exclusive Holiday beverages go on sale November 27, 2008 and continue through January 2, 2009. So this holiday seasons- drink up and help a charity at the same time. It's a good thing!
