Starbucks and Spotify debut limited-edition gift cards featuring iconic musicians

Starting Nov. 28, #starbucks and #spotify will debut three limited-edition Starbucks Cards featuring #chancetherapper, #ladygaga, and #metallica. In the spirit of #starbucksGive Good’ holiday campaign, which encourages goodness of all kinds throughout the holiday season, #starbucks and #spotify are donating a total of $1 million divided among these iconic artists’ three charities that benefit youth empowerment, education and veterans.

The collectible cards will be available at participating company-operated U.S. #starbucks stores with a minimum load of $25, while supplies last. Customers who buy or receive the card as a gift are also eligible for a Spotify Premium trial offer.*

Starbucks and #spotify are encouraging customers to show their support by purchasing the limited-edition #starbucks Cards featuring the three artists. Here are the three charities that will benefit from this partnership:

Chance the Rapper and Social Works

Grammy-winning musician and producer #chancetherapper has been a social activist, helping connect young #people to jobs and raising more than $2.2 million for #chicagopublicschools. His non-profit SocialWorks helps empower youth through the arts, education and civic engagement in his hometown of Chicago.

“Our goal at #socialworks is to empower the youth through the arts, education, and civic engagement," said #chancetherapper. "Many thanks to #starbucks and #spotify for working with us to create more opportunities to build dreams, inspire creativity, and let the youth be themselves!”

Lady Gaga and Born This Way Foundation

Named after her 2011 multi-platinum album, #ladygaga co-founded the Born This Way Foundation to support the wellness of young #people and empower them to build a kinder, braver world. Her courageous and innovative work, which included working with #starbucks for the Cups of Kindness collection, has helped create more positive environments. Initiatives include Channel Kindness, a platform featuring stories of kindness as documented by youth reporters from around the country, and the Kind Communities survey which explored how a young person's mental wellness is impacted by their relationships and environments. 

“A kinder and braver world is urgent, and it is possible. Our work at Born This Way Foundation is to support the wellness – mental, social and emotional – of young #people and build strong, resilient communities,” said #ladygaga. “We’re grateful for our partnership with #starbucks and #spotify this holiday season!” 

Metallica and All Within My Hands Foundation

Metallica, one of the biggest selling acts in American history, has long been a favorite among military service members. Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation was established by the band members to support a variety of charities, including The Mission Continues, a non-profit organization that supports and empowers veterans adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact.

“We are super psyched and grateful for the generous donation #starbucks and #spotify have made to All Within My Hands to help us support veterans as they adjust to life at home and find purpose through community impact,” said #metallica.
