HIV/AIDS DONATIONS
January 27, 2006
The Irish rock musician, Bono, announced a new program in partnership with several companies to sell products under the brand name Red and donate some of the proceeds to help fight HIV and AIDS in Africa, reports the Associated Press. A portion of the revenue generated from the Red products will go to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. The red-theme products will include Converse footwear, Gap clothing, Giorgio Armani designer apparel, and an American Express card that will be available in Britain next month.
