		<description>I try to do my part with (red)

I don&#039;t really ever give customers a choice in gift card designs when we have the (red) cards in. And I always give the cards back and encourage their reloading, even if they don&#039;t reload it right then they always get the card back.

I talk up the program whenever I can, and have been talking up the (red) retail items.

As a Starbucks partner, I&#039;m proud we have made such an amazing impact. But we can always make an even bigger one.</description>

		<description>Remember the Starbucks (Red) website in which people uploaded pictures of themselves and committed to buying a set number of (Red) drinks over the summer? It was pretty fun.</description>

		<description>i&#039;ve tried to do my part:  we bought who knows how many of the 08/09 holly drinks, we both have red cards, we&#039;ve got a water bottle, a tumbler (and need a second), and we&#039;ve gotten at least a couple pounds of the excellent (red) coffee :)

it&#039;s very cool to be able to indulge oneself, and contribute to a great charity at the same time, which i think is a driving reason behind the numbers this partnership has garnered.

and, from what i hear, starbucks has *at least* a ten year partnership with (red).  how cool is that?</description>
