Ringtone raises money to fight against AIDS

Today, in recognition of World AIDS Day, Cingular Wireless announced the debut of an exclusive Music Tone ringtone from the new single "Don't Give Up (Africa)," performed by Alicia Keys. [via Finanzen.net]

Available now only through the Cingular Sounds music program, 100 percent of the proceeds from the ringtone sales will go to Keep A Child Alive, a non-profit organization that provides life-saving AIDS medicines directly to children and families with HIV/AIDS in Africa.

"Don't Give Up (Africa)" was originally written and performed by Peter Gabriel with vocals from Kate Bush in 1986. In an effort to rally Americans to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty, the new recording will be released in its entirety later this month as a download-only, benefit single for Keep A Child Alive.
