$11 Million Donation Needed to Keep Bay Bridge Lights On: Non-Profit

NBC Universal, Inc.

The lights at the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge may not be there for much longer.

Artist Leo Villareal and non-profit Illuminate installed the lights about 10 years ago. Over the years, they've broken and gone out.

Illuminate said it's going to cost $11 million to replace the lights.

Now, the non-profit Illuminate is trying to raise the money. So far, it already has $1 million from the creator of WordPress.

The non-profit said if it can't raise the money, the lights will go out in March.
