          (RED) was  created 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. A portion of profits from each (PRODUCT) RED product sold goes directly to the Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs, with a focus on women and children. They have brands of iPods, clothing, etc.
          
          They have (RED) Wire which is a digital music service that costs $5 a month and the proceeds go to buy medicine in Africa. Every month you get an issue with things like songs that go to your iTunes, music videos, interviews etc. Its really cool. (RED) Wire is on a break right now while they right new issues. But as soon as it gets back up and running everyone should check it out.
