Shows the impact... This isn't just a small thing. If you're talking to media, it gives them a sense of how this is a bigger story than just whatever they see in front of them. Also shows the amount of community involvement. (I personally would have added the worldwide numbers too to show that it's not an Oregon specific thing)
