World Cup Shootout Game to Raise $100k to Fight AIDS in Africa

World Cup 2010 is officially underway and to celebrate, and (RED) have

teamed up to donate $1 for every goal scored today via Penalty Shootout to

help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

's Penalty Shootout online game launched in May. The game tasks users to

try their hand at winning a penalty shootout against friends or strangers. You

can choose your country and challenge one of your or Facebook friends to a

shootout duel. For each shootout, you'll play the part of both the striker and

the goalie, selecting a portion of the goal to either attack or defend.

If you take the challenge seriously, you can compete against the entire pool of

participants for a top spot. The top two point leaders over the entire duration

of the game (which will run until the end of the World Cup) will compete

head-to-head in a real shootout for a chance to win free travel, lodging and

tickets to any four sporting events every year for the next four years.

At the very least, Penalty Shooutout is a fun Friday distraction that can

double as a charitable donation. We're sure your boss will understand.
