Please join us in making an impact on lives around the world in the name of Kim Hyoyeon!
You know Hyoyeon. There are a few things she's been known to love, right? Dancing, partying, being a choding, etc., etc.... But among those interests lies a nearly obsessive love for drinking lots of water and a long-established love for kids.
Sadly, millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they themselves don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. So instead of putting in money to buy Hyoyeon a gift, why not put that money towards giving the gift of life?
Last year, we received over $600 USD in donations from several more than generous donors! We couldn't have been more touched or grateful. Honestly though, it's not about how much we receive. In fact, our goal for this fundraiser isn't about the amount of money we receive, but the amount of participants. Any amount, even if it's the cost of a cup of coffee, will be greatly appreciated.
Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.
So help us help others, all in the name of Kim Hyoyeon! And don't forget to spread the word! :)
UPDATE: YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AMAZING!!! Such a blessing in the lives of many around the world--and ours as well!
Since the announcement of this charity project, we've actually had to raise our "donation goal" FOUR WHOLE TIMES!! From $500 to $1000, $1000 to $1500, $1500 to $2000, and $2000 to $2500--for now!!! We are so, so very moved by all of your generosity and support!
[FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!]
Raising the goal one final time to $3000! We are gearing up to send Hyoyeon an official birthday card with the exact amount to show her just how much we love and support her, so we want to wrap this up as soon as possible!!!
Let's go out with a BANG! I'll keep raising the goal as soon as you break it!! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, HYO FANS!!!
[FINAL FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!]
OPPS! The site's staff that I've been in contact will officially end the campaign on Monday--which coincidentally happens to be Hyoyeon's birthday, September 22nd :D!
So we'll keep raising the goal as long as you keep donating! YOU HAVE ALL BEEN AMAZING!!!
Happy Birthday Hyo <3
