Starbucks & World AIDS Day

In case you need an excuse to grab a Gingerbread Latte tomorrow, this post is for you. On December 1st Starbucks is donating five cents of every purchase of a handcrafted beverage to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Sure five cents may not seem like much, but it is our collective effort and commitment that creates change and brings hope. Heck, grab two lattes, bring one to a co-worker and spread some Christmas cheer at the same time. What is your favorite latte, Pumpkin Spice or Gingerbread?
