Update #5: 2nd Band Announcement!! You're the first to hear!

Posted on February 26, 2010

Soooo.. we got approval earlier than expected..

I'm excited to announce that YEASAYER has confirmed to join us all on this adventure to Uganda!

Yeasayer have been huge supporters of Invisible Children for a while and a few years ago had requested that if there's ever a chance to go to Uganda, they'd love to get out there. We're glad that the dream is finally coming true!

The good news doesn't end there. To honor your commitment to this cause and encourage you to reach out further, I'd like to offer

:: THE FRIENDSHIP DEAL ::

■ If you get 3 of your friends to pledge $25 or more before MARCH 10, and send a message to me via Kickstarter with your name in the Title (limited 1 name per donation) you will receive:
■ Your choice of an INVISIBLE CHILDREN FILM/BRACELET or TEE SHIRT from our store as a Thank You. http://store.invisiblechildren.com/

Thanks again for being a part of this.
