The lowest amount support can pledge is $5, that will get you a special thanks tweet from Lee and access to behind the scenes project updates. The most expensive donation will set you back $10,000 and will get you a special dinner with Lee and the honor of sitting next to him courtside at Madison Square Garden to see the New York Knicks play. There are 11 other levels of donation.
Here's the video Lee put together for his fundraiser.
