UPDATE: Clay Aiken's Appeal for Afghanistan

Thank you, Clay Fans! What an excellent Friday! It is only 3 p.m. on Day 2 of Clay Aiken's $100,000 Challenge for Afghanistan. We're thrilled to tell you that we've already raised $59,635. That's more than half of our original goal . . . and we've got 8 more days to go. This money will be used to help kids in Afghanistan. UNICEF will provide medical supplies, text books and meet other urgent needs. Thanks to so many of you for forwarding Clay's appeal to fund UNICEF's work in Afghanistan to your friends and posting it on your blog. We also wanted to update you on the field report Clay and UNICEF will provide to donors who reply to this appeal. If you contribute $50 or more by April 22nd, UNICEF will e-mail you a link to a PDF file of Clay's exclusive field report by May 15. The report will photos from Clay's trip that won't appear anywhere else. For those who able to donate $1,000 or more, UNICEF will mail an autographed copy of the report. All donations made through the email link, the Clay's Appeal link on the homepage of UNICEFusa.org, and the link on Clay's offical site will be eligible to receive the field report. Even if you made the donation before you got the email, we'll still send you the report. Have you posted Clay's Afghanistan challenge on your blog, site, MySpace page? Please let us know what you're doing for this program by posting a comment here. So we've already raised $59.635. How much do you think we can raise in 8 more days to help the kids of Afghanistan?
