(RED): Starbucks To Donate $1 For Every Check-in In Foursquares Largest Non-Profit Campaign Yet

redrush_to_zero_foursquare_badgeIt's nice to check-in to battle to be the mayor of your favorite burger joint, or to get 30 percent off a purchase, but it's much more satisfying to check-in and feel as if you've actually done some good in the world. That's because the AIDS battling organization (RED) has announced today that it will be partnering with Foursquare to leverage check-ins and social media awareness in the largest check-in campaign to date. The initiative is being held to raise both awareness and funding in support of RED's RUSH TO ZERO, a campaign that seeks to help deliver an AIDS-free generation by 2015 by way of a series of in-person and digital events and experiences that involve social media, brands, celebrities, gamers, and more. In this case, from June 1st to June 10th, the campaign is partnering with Starbucks, which will be donating one dollar to The Global Fund for every Foursquare check-in in their stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.
