Show your support with the RED iPod Nano
I like reading stories about big corporations donating money to charity, it’s just a shame that not more of them do so. The latest contributor to a cause of good is Apple who are helping raise money for a new charity called (PRODUCT) RED who focus on battling AIDS in Africa.
To pass over the pennies, Apple have launched a new special edition red iPod Nano and have agreed to donated $10 from each sale to the (PRODUCT) RED charity to help those affected by AIDS and HIV in Africa. And it’s still the same price as other iPod Nanos.
Bono and Oprah Winfrey, amongst other celebs, have partnered with Apple Computer on the new red iPod Nano and in the name of promotion both bought ten of the new swanky iPods at Apple’s retail store in Chicago.
The (PRODUCT) RED charity was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA. They hope to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world’s most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT) RED branded products. Other companies that plan on offering special (PRODUCT RED) items include the Gap, Converse, Armani, American Express and Motorola.
