RED and YAHOO Launch Online Game That Fights AIDS in Africa
From Chrysi at RED:
Today the beautiful game is in all its glory. All eyes are on Africa — the continent is hosting the World Cup for the very first time. And to mark the launch of the world’s biggest sporting event, Yahoo!’s Penalty Shootout game is turning (RED) and helping generate monies to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
Play. Score. And for every goal Yahoo! will contribute $1, up to $100,000 USD, to the Global Fund, the recipient of (RED) monies. Your goal counts as many times as you can score!
It’s for one day only – TODAY – and you can play the game here.
The beautiful game just got better.
Thanks for playing!
