Everyone knows when it comes to fandom, directioners are the strongest of all. These people are crazy when it comes to supporting their boys in any and every way possible. This fan base is the most creative, artistic and generous, and they have proved it many times. They run many fan projects and also charity drives in honour of the boys.
This year for Harry Styles' 23rd b'day, the fans took to the online donation page to run three amazing donation drives in support of:
SWITCHBOARD
ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION
The SWITCHBOARD donation drive which was to support the LGBT+ community by providing helpline and IM services collected a total of $10,475. This donation drive was carried by the 1D fans give.
The next donation drive was for the little princess trust, which provides real hair wigs, free of charge , to the boys and girls who lost their hair through cancer treatment
As we all know, in May 2016 Harry donated his hair to the trust and showed his support to the great work they do.
Seems like fans made it their mission to further the cause. They collected a total of £1,141.79
The next and the most talked about donation drive was the #LifeboatsForHarry , which was for RNLI. RNLI is a charity that saves lives at the sea.
The drive came into action on the 1st of November. This drive was inspired by Harry's upcoming movie Dunkirk. 19 of the boats involved in the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940 was of RNLI, they saved thousands of men just like Harry's character, and they continue to do the same.
The drive which was lead by Sasha, collected a total of $10,259.
In a small chat that we had with Sasha, she wished Harry and said "I WISH HIM THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAY AND I HOPE IT MAKES HIM FEEL GREAT THAT WE RAISED MONEY TO SAVE LIVES IN HIS HONOUR" she also made a special shout out to Julie who helped raise a load.
After seeing all this I could say that One Direction fandom is just incredible in its own way. After seeing their efforts I am truly starstruck.
We here at Starstruck would like to congratulate them all in their efforts. I know for sure Harry Styles will be really proud and is really lucky to have fans like them.
