Online Fundraising Campaign Underway To Restore SF Fleet Week Air Show

Crowdfunding Effort Has A Goal Of $800,000

Online fundraising efforts called "Crowdfunding" are all the rage these days, with entrepreneurs using the campaigns to raise money to establish businesses and get other projects off the ground.

Such an effort is underway in San Francisco to get the Blue Angels back off the ground ... and to restore the city's Fleet Week air show.

The campaign was established on the crowdfunding site "Crowdtilt," and has a goal of $800,000 for the show, which was cancelled due to sequestration, according to television station KTUV. It was created by Marc McCabe, who works for Airbnb, a San Francisco-based company.

According to the campaign's description, the cancellation of the show was "a huge bummer for millions of people," adding that the show "brings the entire city together."

At this writing nearly $8,000 has been raised for the effort. If the campaign does not reach its "tilt" target, which is $650,000, no one who has made a pledge will actually be charged for their contribution. San Francisco's fleet week had been scheduled for October 10-14.
