To support World AIDS Day, December 1, Starbucks is contributing five cents for every beverage (except ready to drink beverages) to the Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa. In just one year in partnership with (RED)TM, Starbucks has generated enough money to buy more than 7 million days of medicine to help those living with HIV in Africa.
Starbucks is promoting the World AIDS cause on their website as well as their Facebook event page, where they already have 151,259 confirmed Facebook fans who plan to stop by their local Starbucks and purchase a beverage to support World AIDS Day.
Overall, (RED) partners, including Starbucks,have generated $140 million and these funds have supported AIDS programs in Africa that have reached more than 4 million people.
In addition to the donation Starbucks will make to the World AIDS cause, any purchase this holiday season of $15 or more in USD at participating Starbucks in the U.S. and Canada will allow customers to receive a limited-time offer Love CD brought to you by Starbucks and (RED)™.
The Love CD features exclusive recordings from U2, Dave Matthews Band, John Legend and Playing for Change. And, with each Love CD distributed, Starbucks will contribute $1U.S to the Global Fund.
