Update #14: VICTORY!!

Posted on March 10, 2010

WE DID IT!

We just crossed the $20k mark with 9 hours to go!!
I am so ecstatic and completely humbled by all of your support. The amount of money that has come in over these last couple of days is mind blowing.

And although there were some large donations that came in that we are incredibly grateful for, a majority of this project was funded from a LOT of the $25-$50 pledges.

We will be excellent stewards of this money and will make a film that will do so much for these kids in Uganda. Thanks so so much for being a part of this. You have no idea what it means to me.

Feel free to alert your friends that we've met our goal and that they still have 9hours if they're interested in receiving any of the rewards offered.

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO TOM SHADYAC who has been a mentor and supporter of Invisible Children for years. His generosity has given IC the ability to be the creative organization it is so that it can push the boundaries of philanthropy. It's also his generosity that helped push us over that last bump to the finish line this morning so that we wouldn't be stressed all day! hah LOVE YOU TOM!

Equally as special are these latest supporters:

Gildas
Sarah Draper
Kristen
Zourabichvili
Olivier Le Mire
Tara Peters Barrows (Thanks Tara!!)
Salle
M Zopf
