Write a script that has the variables:
$target
$raised

Work out percentage.

Then display an image: <img src="foo" height="percentage">

the easiest method would be to just edit the image once a week and
upload it. or once a day if you felt like it.

you could also generate the image on the fly server side but that would
be overkill.
