Equality Florida's campaign is only the second GoFundMe campaign to collect US$1 million, and it is by far the fastest to do so. By Caitlin DeweyA crowdfunding campaign to raise money for victims of the horrific Orlando nightclub shooting raised almost US$1.6 million in a day, becoming the fastest campaign to clear the US$1 million mark in GoFundMe's six-year history. The money raised now stands at more than US$2,490,000 ($3,537,000) from 58,000 donors. The campaign was launched by Equality Florida, the state's largest LGBT rights group, which is aiming to collect US$3 million for victims and their families. Although the organisation has not elaborated on how the money will be distributed, or to whom, the campaign and Equality Florida are legitimate.
