Millions of gallons of oil have oozed into the water since the April 20th rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. Some estimates calculate the oil flow to be over 70,000 barrels of oil a day —-
And we still don't know when it will stop.
On Monday, June 21, "Larry King Live" will host a live, two-hour Gulf Coast relief telethon from 8-10 P.M. ET on CNN. The telethon, called "Disaster in the Gulf: How You Can Help," will be featuring three charities, where participants can pick which they would like to have their donation go toward. All the money raised will go to aid in rebuilding the Gulf Coast.
charitybuzz has partnered with "Larry King Live" to continue raising funds for the Gulf after the telethon ends! Bid on
