Your Favorite Celebs are Dying for World AIDS Day
Posted by Ariel Cherie
On Wednesday, some of your favorite celebs are giving up digital communication. That means no cell phones, no Twitter, no Facebook — some of the things we can barely go a waking hour without — for a whole day or until we the people donate $1 million for World AIDS Day.
The Digital Death Campaign is put on by the Keep a Child Alive charity, an organization founded by Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Alicia Keys has founded. The give provide medical care and financing for people who are infected with HIV/AIDS in Africa and India.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Serena Williams, and Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, among others are among the celebrities who are participating for the cause.
The concept is that these celebs are dead, so by giving donations, you’re not only saving their “digital” life, but you’re saving the lives of so many others.
To donate, check out buylife.org, and if you see anyone wearing a “Buy Life” T-shirt (above), you can scan their barcode and donate. You can always text “Buy Life” to 90999 for a $10 donation.
As told to the New York Times, Keys said, “You’re always texting your friends,” she says. “Now, you’re going to text to Buy Life.”
Whose life will you buy?
