Apple Black Friday Deals to Raise Money for World Aids Day

As part of its annual World Aids Day promotion, Apple has revealed that a portion of the money it makes from Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales will go to help the Global Fund to fight Aids.

Apple has also announced it will team up with 25 leading app developers to provide exclusive content as part of the (RED) campaign to raise money to fight Aids.

The exclusive content includes special edition red gems available in Clash of Clans; virtual pairs of Red Beats headphones in Kim Kardashian's Hollywood game while hugely popular puzzle game Monument Valley will have a new Red-branded chapter.

The selection of 25 apps is dominated by games, including Bubble Witch Saga 2, CSR Racing, Cut the Rope 2, Despicable Me: Minion Rush, FarmVille 2, FIFA 15, Frozen Free Fall, Heads Up, Puzzle & Dragons, Rayman Fiesta Run, Sims FreePlay and Threes.

The Apps for (RED) section of Apple's App Store will be available for the next two weeks and all proceeds will go to the Global Fund to Fight Aids.

Apple has also announced that a portion of its sales on Black Friday (28 November) and Cyber Monday (1 December) - which also marks World Aids Days - will go to the Fund, though what portion has not been announced.

Apple's Black Friday deals are among the most hotly anticipated of all special offers, as Apple typically doesn't discount any of its products at any other time.

The company said that on Black Friday, Apple customers in the US will receive a special-edition Red iTunes gift card with the purchase of select Apple products. For each gift card distributed, Apple will also donate a percentage to the Global Fund.

"Apple isn't just in the fight to end Aids. They are setting a new bar for business, giving $75 million and counting to the Global Fund as part of their partnership with (RED)," said Bono, co-founder of (RED). "I couldn't be prouder to work with them."
