Las Vegas Victims’ Fund creates new record for GoFundMe

The Las Vegas Victims’ Fund campaign on GoFundMe created a new record on the site. The campaign holds more than $11.6 million. Last year, the largest GoFundMe campaign was supporting victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando Florida, which raised just over $7.8 million. “We have a very generous spirit of giving in the community, and that was seen following the Oct. 1 tragedy,” said Julie Murray, principal and CEO of the Las Vegas-based Moonridge Group.
