O.K. this is going to sound like a Starbucks advertisement, which is ironic since I don't drink coffee. But...
Starbucks is going Red for World Aids day and giving 5¢ to the Global Fund for every hand-crafted Starbucks beverage sold today at participating US and Canada locations. Then through out holiday (November 27, 2008 and January 2, 2009) Starbucks will be serving (STARBUCKS)RED™ EXCLUSIVE beverages and will donate 5¢ for each drink purchasedto the Global Fund to help save lives in Africa.
