At first the project's leader, Adam Quirk, was only aiming to raise $2,000 -- a goal he surpassed in less than two days -- and now he's aiming for $10,000 by 7 p.m. EST today. With nearly $7,000 in the kitty, he ain't that far off.
The extra push came from the two viral content creators. Babelgum furnished $2,000 and will be sending a video production crew to cover the event in London next week. The footage will feature interviews with Quirk and the volunteers, as well as the people behind the Gulf Disaster Fund, which this whole thing is funding. Huh, for his part, is donating $1,000 -- half of which will be sent directly to Quirk so the vuvuzela action can start ASAP.
