So what does that mean? MANY THINGS! First, this will provide food, healthcare and aid to many children in Africa and India who are affected by HIV/AIDS (most importantly). And lastly, your favorite celebs are back on their promotional grind hocking their products to you thirsty fans that will buy anything. I'm sorry....I rambled for a quick minute.
"From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of the fans, friends and artists who joined this cause," Keys said in a statement. "I'm incredibly inspired by all of the donations that have been made to help us achieve our goal and so humbled by the outpour of support from everyone."Oh, Stewart "BIG POCKETS" Rahr helped out, eh? Whatever works....
The organization received a big boost from billionaire and philanthropist Stewart Rahr, who matched $500,000 in funds raised by the public who donated to the cause.
"Although we never expected to raise $1 million overnight, we are completely blown away that we were able to achieve our goal in less than a week. We are moved by the many generous donations and by the amount of support we've received from the public," said Leigh Blake, the co-founder of the organization. "Over 3,600 people have joined the fight and sacrificed their own digital lives for this important cause, and we intend to continue this movement."
BIG CONGRATS, nonetheless!
