Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s text-a-thon appears to be a smashing success. The couple has raised $10,000 already and are on mark to reach their goal of $35,000. The money will go towards building a new playground in a low-income area of Los Angeles.
“Text CHILD to 90999″ has received 1,825 text messages so far, according to People. Each text has given a $5 donation.
Joel has vowed to get out on the playground and play with the kids once it’s built. That will be a lot of fun to see!
