Update #10: WEDNESDAY'S THE LAST DAY! 3 days to go! And we just passed $10K!

Posted on March 7, 2010

Hi Friends...
This weekend has been pretty amazing with all the support we've received. It's going to be a sprint to the finish but don't lose hope!

I've been speaking with some philanthropists and activists who really believe in this film and what Invisible Children is doing on the ground in Uganda. They are especially inspired that YOU all have been able to raise over $10K in less than a month. I expect their support will help get us across the finish line in time to reach our goal but we still need to keep pushing forward.

Keep doing what you're doing... and if you can't tell from my updates by my overzealous use of exclamation points and emoticons, I am very excited about these next few days.

Here is the update for the newest members of the IC+Blogo+Spree+Yeasayer support team:

Also.. When I thanked Sezio on the last update I gave the wrong site! ... oops, sorry Zack... please visit SEZIO.ORG not .com. ;)

Keep an eye out for our friends in LXD on the Oscars tonight! They're the amazing dancers you'll see soon enough.

Thanks again and again to all of you.
