April 21 2011 Invisible Children's '25' campaign Mobilizes 100,000 Young People to Stay Silent for 25 Hours; Featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" www.12newsnow.com/story/14490140/invisible-childrens-21-campaign-mobilizes
This article is short, but it focuses on the 25 event that happened on April 25 but from a pre event standpoint. It mentioned that the event was in place to raise awareness for all of the "invisible children" in Uganda. The event wanted to have each participant raise at least 25 dollars on April 25 and stay silent for 25 hours for the 25 year war on April 25. Overkill on the 25 thing? I think not. At the end of the night, and depending on what city you live in there may be a concert that will be in place to break the silence. It will feature bands like the Plain White T's, Rogue Wave, Peter Pisano of Peter Wolf Crier, Faces on Film, and David Archuleta. The campaign at the time had raised over 600,00$. Good job Invisible Children!
yours truly,
Amy
