T-Mobile’s Giving Tuesday benefits Boys & Girls Clubs of America

After you’re done stressing out on your Thanksgiving meals, shopping and travels, — hopefully you’re taking advantage of that free Wi-Fi T-Mobile’s giving away — you’ll sit down, breathe and look to do good in the holiday spirit.

The Un-carrier is also going to be giving away up to $500,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America next Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Because Thanksgiving is tomorrow, not a Tuesday and T-Mobile’s all about those T-Mobile Tuesdays to let its customers #GetThanked anyways.

And sure, it’ll still be offering the free FandangoNow movie rental and a free small Wendy’s Frosty to customers with the T-Mobile Tuesdays app. But letting kids have fun after school and mentors to look up to is always important.

So, on November 29, when anyone (from any carrier) texts the word “TUESDAY” to 20222, they make a $5 to the Boys & Girls Clubs. And you can do that over and over again and T-Mobile will match your dollars up to $80. Plus, if you enter into the big prize raffle for T-Mobile Tuesdays next week, you might be able to snag a $50 prize, a $250 prize or a grand $5,000 prize for your local Boys & Girls Club.

World AIDS Day is December 1 — Beats Solo3 in (PRODUCT)RED color previewed

Apple has been an a longstanding partner with the (RED) organization in its fight against acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It will continue to back that fight presumably by donating at least some of the proceeds it makes from selling special edition Beats Pill+ and Beats Solo3 wireless headphones.

The products are now listed on Apple’s website with a new “Citrus Red” color, an option costing no different than other colors — the Pill+ at $229.95 and the Solo3 at $299.95. Availability of these (PRODUCT)RED merchandise has not been pushed yet.

There has been much progress in the treatment, perhaps elimination of AIDS in a patient and the correction of the history of how HIV/AIDS came about in the US. But there’s always the need for more research to cover more ground worldwide [in (RED)’s case, specifically in Africa] and more money for it.

Apple has been supporting the effort, founded by U2 lead singer Bono, since its inception in 2006 with a special red iPod nano.
