Stars of ItsJudysLife Raise More Than $200,000 for Convoy of Hope
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (PRWEB) December 22, 2015 -- YouTube Celebrities, Judy and Benji Travis, hosted their annual “Dancember” campaign over the weekend. Dancember is a unique fundraiser that features special guests, audience participation, incentives for giving and dancing. So far, the event has raised more than $200,000 for Convoy of Hope’s Children’s Feeding Initiative.
“When Benji said our goal for this year was $200,000, it seemed impossible,” Judy says. “But I said, ‘let’s try it’ and we hit it. It's extremely overwhelming.”
The 24-hour-live broadcast featured special guests from YouTube including: WahilieTV, Laura in the Kitchen, Mike Tompkins, Desi Perkins, LaToya Forever, TheSchuermanShow, Jackie Aina, GabeBabeTV, Bretman Rock, The LaVigne Life, Nikki Phillippi, Naptural85, Nicola Foti, Nat + Wes (and the Rest!) and xSparkage.

The campaign runs through December 31. For more information, please visit convoyofhope.org/dancember.
