My Ride: 2006 BMW 525I/TITANIUM SILVER METALLIC/GREY LEATHER INTERIOR/EURO RED REFLECTORS/20% TINT/EURO STICKER/BMW CCA STICKER
STARBUCKS, introduces their (STARBUCKS)RED EXCLUSIVE beverages Day. For every purchase of an Espresso Truffle, Peppermint Mocha Twist and Gingersnap Latte at participating stores in the US and Canada between now and January 2nd 2009, Starbucks will contribute 5 cents directly to the Global Fund.
And to mark World AIDS Day, December 1st, Starbucks will contribute 5 cents for every single handcrafted beverage purchased at participating Starbucks in the US and Canada.
As Bono said, "It's pretty mind-blowing to think that millions of people can buy (RED) going about their daily lives and in doing so raise millions of dollars to fight AIDS in Africa. That's not a bad hit from your caffeine.
This may not seem like a lot...but think of how many Starbucks are in the world...even in your town (at least 35 of them
)
