World AIDS Day 2009

Tommorrow (December 1st) is World AIDS Day. I really hope that everyone out there is helping out in some way whether it's organizing an event, volunteering, or donating money.

If you can't do any of that, then please at least go to your local Starbucks and buy a coffee. I spoke with Starbucks corporate today and it is ANY of their handcrafted coffees. That means if you buy any coffee that the barista makes, they will donate 5 cents to the Global Fund. Millions of people have been helped by The Global Fund and though 5 cents seems like a small amount, it adds up quickly. In a year, Starbucks has generated enough for SEVEN MILLION days of medicine.

No, I don't work for Starbucks. I just think this is something easy and affordable US and Canadians can do to help. Feel free to pimp, link this, spread the word.
