Getting a bunch of people in a Facebook group is easy. Getting that Facebook group connected to $10^9 is not as simple.

If I started a Facebook group that said, "Bill Gates will give away 1 billion dollars if this hits 50,000!" it has absolutely no bearing on whether Bill Gates will give away 1 billion dollars.

This Facebook trick will only work once. Make sure it counts when it works.
