"Digital Death" Fundraiser Not Doing So Good


Celebrities came together for National Aids Day and decided to kill their social media for a good cause. They would no longer be on twitter or facebook until $1,000,000 is raised for the "Keep A Child Alive" charity. Some of the celebrities involved are Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, Kim Kardashian and others. This is a wonderful idea and that did do it for a great cause, but the problem is that is not going very well. Since they shut down on Wednesday they have only raised $180,950. This is a great amount but they still need $800,000 in order to be able to come back online.

I think that the problem with this is that they don't give the fans a whole lot of options to donate. The minimum donation is $10. I know that there are so many people that would love to donate but sometimes people don't always have $10 to donate. They should be given the option of what they want to donate and I am pretty sure that more people would donate. Maybe this one wasn't thought all the way through.
