Basic description of the project:
We pushed Starbucks’ holiday initiative beyond merely selling a product and used their global reach to raise awareness and donations for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS in Africa. On December 7th, at 1:30 pm GMT, we united musicians from over 156 countries to sing “All You Need Is Love” at exactly the same time. The live footage was broadcast at a London event and on www.StarbucksLoveProject.com, so the whole world could see and join in. The event set a new Guinness World Records™ record for “Most Nations in an Online Sing-a-long.”
