The Crowdfunding Spectacular is the website's fundraiser to support their crowdfunding campaign "Celebrity Crowd Funding" that will be featured on The CrowdFunder TV Show. This campaign will help raise the $129,000 goal that must be reached in order to donate $10,000 to each cause. Collectively $50,000 is CelebrityCrowdfunding's portion and the balance covers the cost of the TV show's dollar-4-dollar sponsored gift cards from; Sears, Starbucks, Home Depot, Subway and other top named companies.
Giving Away $50K to 5 Great Causes
"I would rather see the funds get raised and donated between 5 great causes than to be unsuccessful at raising funds for the startup of the website," says CelebrityCrowdfunding President Luis Sevilla. The beneficiaries that the $50K will be given to include the following:
- Cancer. $10K of the total amount will be donated to 2 young brothers, Nicco and Matteo from Ottawa, Canada who are both battling cancer.
- Stop the Violence. $5K will be donated to Khadija and Alyssa Gonzales who found their mother home, shot dead. Another $5K will be donated to Adonis Mera, a teenager who was shot in Central Park.
- Disaster Relief. $10K will be donated to "Tornado School Safe Rooms." The donation will be handed to Oklahoma State Representatives Mark McBride and Jon Echols, who established Shelter Oklahoma Schools.
- Homelessness. $10K will go to The Homeless World Cup, whose mission is to put an end to homelessness.
- Cause – TBD. The remaining $10K will be donated to the cause having the highest votes at the campaign's end.
