Update on the GoFundMe effort to buy out Taijuan Walker's contract

I'm sorry to inform you of the failure. The GoFundMe, which sought to raise $18,000,000 to buy out one of the two remaining years of Taijuan Walker's Phillies contract, was $17,999,747.44 short. But the good thing is that the money raised was donated to charity after GoFundMe took its share:

Good job to everyone. The money went to Phillies Charities, Inc., which “primarily supports local charities that serve a wide variety of needs.” How many air conditioners can we buy for Philly public schools for $252.56? One? Half an air conditioner? Doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts. The Phillies still have to pay Taijuan Walker $36,000,000 over the next two years, but kudos to the guy for being there, talking to reporters and facing the music every time he played in three innings for six runs on eight hits. Taijuan Walker is a man of awareness who always knows how to read the room, unlike a certain Philadelphia Eagles defensive back who remains unnamed.
