That’s not all. There’s a new (STARBUCKS) RED Card this holiday with a mini-me version too. Each time you pay for your purchase with the Card through Dec 31st 2010, Starbucks will contribute 5 cents to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.

Thank you. $140 million to Africa So Far.

The latest numbers are in. (RED) partners and events have contributed $140 million to date to the Global Fund to fund HIV/AIDS programs in Africa.

Because of you, (RED) funds have supported programs that have reached more than 4 million people with testing, counseling and medication.

And to quote our CEO Susan Smith Ellis, the impact that you have when you buy (RED) ‘truly transforms lives as people gain access to medicine, regain strength and can return to being active children, parents, workers and community leaders.’

Here’s to the next $140 million….

Dashboard Confessional Postpones North American Tour

We’ve just heard from the Dashboard Confessional guys and unfortunately they’ve had a family situation and have had to cancel their North America Tour, including the two (RED)NIGHTS shows they were going to play. Here’s the statement from the band. Chris, John, Scott, Mike – we wish you the best and we’re thinking of you and your families.

“Dashboard Confessional will postpone their scheduled North American tour on behalf of their latest album “Alter the Ending”, due to a family issue within the band. “Due to a family situation that is beyond our control, we have to cancel our upcoming tour with New Found Glory, Never Shout Never, Meg & Dia and Single File. We don't take this lightly but family has to come first. As this is a last minute development, we are still figuring out what we will do- as soon as we know, you will know. We apologize to everyone who planned on coming to the shows. We will find a way to make it up to you.” Chris, John, Scott, Mike / Dashboard Confessional. The band is still performing with the Louisville Orchestra on Saturday, November 7th and plans to re-schedule the proper North American tour in 2010.”
