Since it is time limited, there is a need to promote beforehand an upcoming petition drive. That way you have a better chance of reaching the goal. Another week, and it might of got the additional two thousand signatures. As is, people don't know about it for a couple weeks and then it is a mad rush to get there in the last two.

Yes, you need to publicize these things before starting the petition -- unless you have some kind of famous celebrity who can magically get 20-50,000 signatures by posting to Facebook or Twitter or something. Today's update is the first I heard of this.

This is pretty much how GoFundMe works. Almost nothing goes "viral" that isn't already planned and the money is almost always already pledged before the GoFundMe is ever announced. The exception is celebrities that have large audiences to help drum up support.
