Me if I got to meet 1D the day before my bday! 

Me if I got to meet 1D the day before my bday! 

So, Lynn (ellemem) is bidding on the San Diego Meet and Greet for 3 people being auctioned off by Eden Dora. The goal (if won) was to have Lynn (Project No Control), Kat/Edwin or Malin (TMHFN/Rainbow Direction), and myself (1D Fans Give) as the 3 people to attend the meet and greet to have representation from the big fan efforts that have made a difference to 1D/Fandom. 

However, bidding is already up to $4500+ and will probably go too high for us to manage by Sunday. This is completely a long shot and please don’t feel pressure to donate, but if people threw in a buck or two, we might be able to win this thing! 

If we don’t win, I will donate any money raised to Louis’ bday drive for Eden Dora so Eden Dora wins either way (I will also offer refunds to people if they would prefer that). 

If we did by some chance win, any money over the amount of the winning bid will be donated to Eden Dora for Louis’ drive. The auction ends Sunday night so we need to raise as much as we can between now and Sunday morning so we know how high we can bid.

The meet and greet is the day before my birthday so I’m secretly rooting for this to work - meeting Louis (and all the guys) would be a great bday present! 

Again, I want to stress -please don’t feel pressure to donate! This is a complete long shot and if this all worked out, it would be some sort of miracle, but it’s too good of a chance to pass up. It’s another one of my harebrained ideas so worst case, we raise some money for Eden Dora!

In the spirit of this year's IDAHOT theme "Take Action for Youth", we selected an organization that has strong international links, works on LGBTQ+ youth issues in Africa--a majorly underserved area--and is yet small enough for our donations to make a real difference: the Rainbow International LGBT Activist Solidarity Fund.

$5 Day for Zayn Malik's Birthday Charity Drive to Show Our Appreciation for Zayn

/

We're so sad Zayn has left 1D, but we understand he needs to do what's best for him. The charity drive for this year is still going to continue as planned (and we'll keep including Zayn as part of the drive as long as you guys want us to - once a 1D member, always a 1D member is my motto!). 

So, we're going to do a $5 day today to show our appreciation for Zayn. Show him how much he means to us by donating at least $5 (or 5 of your currency) and support The British Asian Trust. 

http://www.justgiving.com/zayn23

We've still got lots planned for Zayn's drive and all of that will continue as planned! 

We love you, Zayn! 

Rainbow Direction/TakeMeHomeFromNarnia & 1DFansGive present: The Rainbow Charity Drive

/

RainbowDirection/TakeMeHomeFromNarnia are once again partnering with 1DFansGive to host a fundraiser in honour of International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia - IDAHOT Day on May 17th.

In the spirit of this year’s  IDAHOT theme “Take Action for Youth”, we selected an organization that has strong international links, works on LGBTQ+ youth issues in Africa (a majorly underserved area), and is yet small enough for our donations to make a real difference: the Rainbow International LGBT Activist Solidarity Fund

The initial goal is $1705.15 for 17/05/2015. We intend to reach that by selling our merch, direct donations, a rainbow bear auction and more.

All the revenue from our spreadshirt sales (US Store & UK Design Shop) until 17 May will be donated: we welcome design submissions attakemehomefromnarnia@gmail.com

For direct donations via Paypal: hit the special button at the bottom of this post, or on the charity drive’s webpage. There you will also be able to keep track of our goal via the counter.

Keep an eye on both blogs for exciting challenges, including calls for designs, Rainbow Bear Missions, and regular financial updates. Our activities will be tracked with the #RDCD tag, which you can follow here.

Now, without further ado, we present to you: The Rainbow Direction Charity Drive Page!!

Goals for Eden

/

Goals may only be worth one point on the field, but each goal can mean so much more off the field during the 1Dfansgive pledge drive for the Eden Dora Trust!

1Dfansgivelouis is raising funds to provide training for adults working with children affected by Encephalitis and Acquired Brain Injury by putting together the Goals for Eden pledge drive to benefit the Eden Dora Trust.

How does it work?

For the Doncaster Rover’s Legends game featuring Louis Tomlinson on April 19, a donor has pledged to donate $10 for every goal Louis’ team scores and an additional $100 if Louis himself scores and invites you to join her and earn a chance to win an official Doncaster Rovers home jersey.

How do I pledge?

In order to participate just send an ask to 1dfansgivelouis detailing your pledge. Your pledge can be as little as a dollar a goal or five dollars if Louis’ team wins.  It’s entirely up to you!  Then, donate your pledge to www.justgiving.com/louis24 with the words “Goals for Eden” and include your tumblr name no later than April 26, 2015 to be entered in the drawing for the jersey.

What if I win?

If your name is chosen at random, you will be contacted by Amy, the founder of the 1dfansgive drives to provide your jersey size, preference for long or short sleeve, and address.  The donor will then order the shirt and have it delivered to your address.

So, get geared up for the big game, provide help to a worthy cause and earn a chance to win a Doncaster Rovers official home jersey!
