Using a MySpace widget, followers of the American “Idol Gives Back” fundraiser can continue donating to the drive, as well as enter a sweepstakes featuring a trip for 2 to the show’s finale and post-show party.

Although the show aired last night, the widget prolongs the ability to donate, and, as of this writing, has accounted for more than $40,000 USD in donations from MySpace members.

MySpace partnered with American Idol to encourage its members to donate and to share the widget with friends. The widget can process donations, and tracks real-time donations by MySpace members.
