Last month we announced that our sister organization (RED) has partnered with Starbucks. Well beginning tomorrow, November 27th, Starbucks will begin donating five cents from the sale of any (STARBUCKS)RED EXCLUSIVE beverage at all company-owned and licensed stores in the United States and Canada to the Global Fund to invest in AIDS programs in Africa.
This offer will last until January 2nd, 2009. (RED) as you know, has already raised $112 million for the Global Fund. So stop by a Starbucks this holiday season, and get a cup of joe for a great cause.

Thanks Chris for reminding those who frequent the ONE Blog to GO (RED) this Holiday Season. The are many choices in going (RED) – you can purchase the (STARBUCKS)RED coffees, you can purchase the (HALLMARK)RED cards & wrapping paper, you can purchase a (DELL)RED laptop, you can subscribe to the new music download service (RED)WIRE – need I go on?
So wherever you are and whatever you do this Holiday Season – GO (RED)! And then keep it up during the rest of the year.
All (RED) proceeds go to benefit The Global Fund (www.theglobalfund.org) Visit the (RED) website at http://www.joinred.com.

My wife turned us all on to the (RED) campaign the first year that The Gap, started selling (RED) products. She thought the T-shirts were cool, but was really excited about the contribution to aids relief in Africa. I immediately was addicted right from the start! Not only to the t-shirts, but I became very passionate about the program. Since that first year, many have implied that I might be in need
of a (RED) twelve step program! It is so cool though, to look back at what has taken place.
My daughter took thirty ADO(RED), ADMI(RED), necklaces on a teaching trip to China, and gave one to each of her students, at the end an assignment focusing on world issues. Not a dry eye in the house.
Our dearest friend in the world, who works for an international NGO, also took thirty necklaces to a project in Zimbabwe, and spread them around.
My wife and I gave out another Forty or so, to everyone we know.
I am pretty sure that I have every (RED) shirt that has been made. Typically, I’m always seen in a different
(RED) shirt. But it’s not the amount of shirts that I have that is important, it’s the numbers of people asking
Questions as the result. The more (RED) shirts I wear, the more questions. The more questions, the more who know about (RED).
It has been very cool to see how something that started out on such a small scale, has mushroomed into an act of love that is huge in our lives!
We are definitely a (RED) family, and it is awesome hearing from people who are as passionate as we are!!
Got to go pick up our world aids day t-shirts!!!!
Have a great ONE!!!

Great to have you & your family amongst us, Jeff. I really like your emphasis on spreading the word about (RED) to those around you.
If each ONE of us simply did all that we could to engender in our family, friends and neighbors a sense of hope and enthusiasm that the situation for the world’s poor is malleable and that we can shape it into the kind of world that we want it to be, imagine how much farther ahead our movement could be!
Take very good care, everyONE. Blessings always.
ALWAYS (RED) AT HEART, debbie

Hi Debbie, Chris, & Jeff
Your extraordinary work and Google’s philanthropic 10 to the 100th Project, “a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible,” inspired me to come up with the following REAL solution to help in the advancement of our cause. This 30-second video explains “Hungry for Change”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCQPLnXFE-4
If HfC resonates with you, I would welcome (with arms wide open) the opportunity to discuss it further.
To a world transformed, from the bottom up
