BELVEDERE PARTNERS UP WITH USHER FOR SOCIAL CAUSE CAMPAIGN

You’ve probably spotted Usher’s mug on billboards all over town lately as the new face of Belvedere Vodka’s holiday “Believe Campaign.” The vodka brand’s new social-cause campaign will donate half of all profits from their new special-edition bottle to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. Belvedere’s partnership with Usher is through a program called “(Product) Red.”  You might be familiar with Product Red, in which brands put a special seal on their products and donate up to 50% of their profit to six African countries for HIV therapy, treatment and support programs. (The program is affiliated with the Global Fund, which fights HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.) Apple, Dell, Gap, Starbucks and Nike are among the brands that have participated in Red, helping raise more than $150 million, according to the Global Fund’s website. Belevedere is the first spirits brand to come on board.
