(NEW YORK) — Who knew Seth MacFarlane was such a fan of Reading Rainbow?
LeVar Burton, who hosted the long-running PBS series, has announced that the Family Guy creator has offered to donate up to $1 million to the Reading Rainbow Kickstarter campaign.
Burton stated on the campaign’s page that for each dollar pledged over the $4 million mark, MacFarlane will match it, up to $1 million.
At last check, the fundraiser had raised $4.034 million.
Burton last month launched the campaign to bring an online version of Reading Rainbow to underfunded classrooms. His initial goal of $1 million was easily met, and now he’s hoping to reach $5 million by next week.
