U2's Free Song Raises More Than $3 Million For Charity

02/05/2014
. (hennemusic) U2's free download of the new song, "Invisible", has helped raise more than $3 million for the (RED) campaign. In sync with its debut during the Super Bowl 48 broadcast on Sunday, U2 offered a 24-hr free download of the track, with sponsor Bank Of America donating $1 per download to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

U2 will be continuing to support the cause, as "Invisible" is officially released for sale, with all proceeds from every iTunes download going to fight AIDS.

(RED) has already generated more than $240 million for the Global Fund since being founded in 2006 by U2 lead singer Bono and Bobby Shriver in order to drive corporate donations to the fight against AIDS. The additional funding from Bank of America will help (RED) surpass a quarter billion dollars raised. more on this story
