Starbucks, a charter sponsor of the "We Are The Future" concert, will now offer a CD of selected songs from the concert. Orin Smith, CEO of Starbucks:
"Millions and millions of children in war torn countries are dying every year. And, this is something about which each of us can make a difference. "We are the future" is an initiative that will truly make a difference in children's lives. Starbucks is excited to partner with Quincy Jones to help enlist the support of the communities and the customers we serve."
From now until august 3, Starbucks will sell these CD's and 100 percent of the purchase price goes to the "We Are The Future" Foundation, which will build child centers in war-torn countries around the world.
