CLARKSTON - They say one sip can help change the world.

Tuesday was World AIDS Day and to help support it, Starbucks contributed 5 cents of every hand-crafted beverage sold to the Global Fund to help fight AIDS in Africa.

According to the company's website, in just one year Starbucks has generated enough money to buy more than 7 million days worth of medicine to help those living with HIV on the continent.

Starbucks is also selling a CD called "Love" featuring U2, the Dave Matthews Band, and John Legend.

$1 of every CD sold will be donated to the Global Fund.
