A cellphone is shown on top of a blurry picture of a table outdoors. The phone shows a group of graduates throwing their caps in the air, a photo of a smiling woman, and a text saying "Karen, Scott's Tots here! We're halfway to meeting our fundraising goal of $10,000 to provide college tuition to deserving kids. Log in and share your page."

The top half of a cellphone laid over a blurry image of people watching a presentation. There's a text on the phone that says "Hi Kelly! We've reached 75% of our fundraising goal tonight. Donate here: link" and above the phone is a donation progress bar showing $15,000 raised of $20,000 goal.
