Happy Thanksgiving!

Finally, the company I work for is doing something I can back.

For those of you who don't know, I am a big supporter of Product (RED). This year, Starbucks has signed a multi-year contract with the organization, and it launches tomorrow - Black Friday. Which Starbucks has renamed to (RED) Friday. Corny, but possibly still effective. Rumor is, they changed the date and launched the program today.

Basically, for the entire duration of our Winter Holiday season (I believe it ends around the beginning of January), any Holiday drink (Espresso Truffle, Gingersnap Latte, or Peppermint Mocha Twist) purchased from Starbucks automatically earns a five cent donation toward (RED) and the Global Fund to fight AIDS. It may not seem like a lot, but considering we sell Hundreds of those particular drinks a day - it adds up. After the Holiday Season, it will expand to our other drinks. We don't know which yet.

More importantly, on World AIDS Day - which is December 1st, so write it down - every drink you buy from Starbucks will earn a five cent donation. So drink Starbucks on December 1st!

I know this seems totally corny, that I'm posting this all over my journal this way for some company I work for, but (RED) is something I really support, so excuse me for my momentary rant.

Spread the word and buy those drinks, seriously.
