Has Your Favorite iOS App Gone (RED) for World AIDS Day?

Apple has launched a two-week fundraising campaign to mark World AIDS Day (Dec. 1), designating all proceeds from 25 popular iOS apps directly to (RED)’s Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. In addition to the apps, a portion of online and retail sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday – two of the biggest shopping days of the year – will also go to the Global Fund.

Co-founded by U2 front man Bono in 2006, (RED) works with companies like Apple to fight for an AIDS-free generation by creating (PRODUCT)RED merchandise. Since its inception, (PRODUCT)RED has generated more than $275 million for the Global Fund – more than $75 million from Apple alone.

“Apple is a proud supporter of (RED) because we believe the gift of life is the most important gift anyone can give,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook in an issued statement. “For eight years our customers have been helping fight AIDS in Africa by funding life-saving treatments which are having a profoundly positive impact. This year we are launching our biggest fundraising push yet with the participation of Apple’s retail and online stores, and some of the brightest minds in the App Store are lending their talents to the effort as well.”

From Monday, Nov. 24, through Sunday, Dec. 7, the App Store’s Apps for (RED) campaign will feature 25 favorite apps with exclusive content.

About six months ago, Apple met with the top-selling app developers and convinced them to customize their products with (RED) additions for the promotion. For example, Zynga’s CSR Racing fans can buy a red (RED) Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, while Electronic Arts’ FIFA 15 players can compete in a special (RED) tournament.

Additionally, GarageBand is offering a limited-edition In-App Purchase that makes over 300 new drum, guitar, synth and bass loops available and the popular drawing app Paper has also participated with a red application theme and icon.

According to the (RED) website, antiretroviral medicine costs an average of 40 cents a day. If Apple’s (RED) promotion were to raise, say, $10 million, that would provide daily medication for a year to some 70,000 people.
