Calm.com Partners with (RED) to Fight AIDS


Calm.com, recently voted the #1 app in the world for making people happy, announced today that they are teaming up with (RED), the organization founded in 2006 by Bono & Bobby Shriver to raise money and awareness for the fight to end AIDS. Calm is proud to be a part of the third annual holiday shopping campaign - (SHOPATHON)RED. The campaign allows shoppers the opportunity to purchase limited edition (RED) products, just in time for the holidays. For the first time, Amazon will be providing a one-stop destination to shop (RED) and save lives at Amazon.com/RED. Long term (RED) partner, Bank of America, will be donating 30 cents for every dollar spent on Amazon.com (News - Alert)/RED between now and December 31, up to $1.5 million.

In celeration of the (SHOPATHON)RED and World AIDS Day, Calm has prepared some special content. Especially exciting is a new Sleep Story, recorded by The Walking Dead's Danai Guria, called "A Love Letter to Africa." The new tale takes listeners on a journey to Africa to experience the beauty, landscape, wildlife and dream-inducing sunsets.



There will also be a special edition (CALM)RED Sleep Mist, the essential oil lavender aromatherapy spray that Calm released earlier in the summer, designed to pair with the Sleep Stories for a unique and natural slumber experience. Additionally, $1 from every purchase of Calm's (RED) Sleep Mist will go to fight AIDS with (RED). Each special edition (CALM)RED Sleep Mist sold can help provide over three days of life-saving medication to someone living with HIV. The Sleep Mist will be available on Amazon.com/RED.

Calm has created special content in the app itself to celebrate the (RED) collaboration. The background on the Calm app & platform will also be turning (RED) for the entire month of December in celebration. The special content includes not only the aforementioned Sleep Story, but a new Daily Calm meditation, too. Both of these will be free on December 1, World Aids Day. $1 from every new Calm App subscription during the whole month of December will also go to fight AIDS with (RED).
