The Jimmy Fallon / Stephen Colbert Donation Project

Help a classroom in support of The Jimmy Fallon / Stephen Colbert Project 

Help Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert raise money for DonorsChoose.org and Stephen Colbert will sing Rebecca Black's "Friday" with The Roots!

Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert recently announced that they've become Best Friends Forever (for Six Months) and are generously donating each others' time and money to DonorsChoose.org.

Last week, Stephen announced that Jimmy had matched Stephen's gift of $26,000 from the proceeds of a Colbert portrait sold at auction. Unfortunately, ...Stephen did not tell this to Jimmy.

However, Jimmy is very excited to raise the money for DonorsChoose.org and greatly appreciates the work his BFF (for six months) has done on his behalf. 

So, as announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, if the Fallon / Colbert Project can raise $26,000 by this Friday April 1st, Stephen Colbert has graciously agreed to sing Rebecca Black's "Friday" accompanied by the Roots. 

Please donate! And thank you so much!

Good Karma: Colbert to Cover 'Friday'

TV show hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have teamed up to help raise money for DonorsChoose.org, an online charity that raises money for schools in need. 

Fallon had promised that if fans could help reach the goal of raising $26,000 by Friday, April 1, Colbert would perform the viral hit "Friday" by Rebecca Black. Happily, that goal was reached days ahead of schedule. Colbert's backing band for the song will be Fallon's house band, hip-hop group The Roots. 

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that promotes fundraising projects for schools across the nation. Visitors can browse through projects on the site, and decide which project they want to donate to, receiving a breakdown of how every dollar was spent after the funding goal is reached.
