Every now and then there is a project or charity that comes along that everyone can get behind. Such is the case with (PRODUCT)RED, which teams up with various brands to collaborate on special products in order to raise proceeds for HIV/AIDS research in Africa.
It was founded in 2006 by U2 front-man and activist Bono and Bobby Shriver of ONE/DATA, and has worked with companies such as Nike, American Express, Apple Inc., Starbucks, Converse, Gap, and Emporio Armani.
