Starbucks Supports World AIDS Day
I’m all in favor of big corporations that donate to worthy causes. Even in tough times, it’s nice to see people giving back. While I’m not a huge fan of Starbucks approach to business (put every Mom & Pop coffee shop out of business), I am a fan of their recently-launched campaign to raise money for AIDS research.
Every time someone buys a (Starbucks) RED™ Exclusive beverage at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada, from November 27 through January 2, Starbucks gives 5¢ to the Global Fund to help save lives in Africa.
Today, December 1, which is officially World AIDS Day, every hand-crafted Starbucks beverage sold will generate a 5¢ donation to the cause.
Now that’s something to celebrate. (Learn more about the campaign here.)
