Is this real money collected or just pledged money that will never actually be donated?
This is money they've already received. They have a paypal account set up to donate.

People are dropping dead from starvation in 3rd world countires and we do nothing. But a tree gets poisoned in Auburn and we're all over that shite.
I had a friend get mad at me because I pointed that shite out. You pledge $50 to save a tree but you wont give the homeless dude downtown $5 so he can get a meal. Please!!

What exactly is your point? There are plenty of organizations to donate to that are combating hunger.

FTR- There is no real reason for Bama fans to donate to this cause, but the hungry people in Africa line is weak.

About to hit the $10,000 mark.

In the wake of the herbicidal attack by Harvey Updyke on Auburn's famed Toomer's Corner oak trees, there's been no shortage of people wondering if the Iron Bowl rivalry had finally, well, "gone too far." Alabama president Mal Moore immediately condemned Updyke's actions, of course, but condemnations don't bring trees back.
Fortunately, a group of Alabama fans are committed to fixing precisely that problem, and have started a "Tide For Toomer's" fund to help raise money to restore or replace the stricken oaks. Better yet, the group is already wildly successful; almost 20,000 people have become fans of the the charity on Facebook in its second day of existence, and the charity has raised over $8,000 (and counting).
As with all good charities, every penny raised is going to Auburn's "Toomer's Trees and Tradition Fund," so there's no impropriety here, it's just a solid gesture from thousands and thousands of classy Alabama fans. See, fans of the rest of the SEC? They do exist.
About to hit the $10,000 mark.

Neither am I. I think that TiM should man up and make a major donation that would properly illustrate his ire at the destruction of the very tress he was conceived under.
Or something to that effect...
