'I'm A Star' teens host Gofundme Drive on Facebook and Instagram

The teen servant leaders have collected funds through a Celebrity Basketball game, GoFundMe campaign and private donations.  Since July, they have raised nearly $31,000.  The teens' last GoFundMe drive on Facebook and Instagram LIVE drew 3000+ viewers. If 4000 people donate $5 on Wednesday night, the teens will reach their goal of $50,000.

In August, USA Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles sent a video congratulating 'I'm A Star' teens for their Celebrity Basketball Game.  Watch the video here.

I'm A Star kicked off their Jacksonville HELPS (Homeless Students Empowered through Leadership, Partnership & Service) initiative in July to raise money for the 2700 homeless students in Duval County.  All money raised will be donated as unrestricted funds, supporting needs including: eye glasses, books, toiletry items, bus passes, doctor's fees, hotel vouchers, rental deposits, college application fees and more.  See the full wish list Here.

Since 2013, the Foundation has raised $57,000 via live telethons, a 5K and two celebrity basketball games— donating all funds to the Duval County Public Schools’ Homeless Education Department and awarding 14 scholarships to homeless students entering college.

I'm A Star Foundation will present a check to the Duval County School Board in a meeting on Tuesday, October 3rd.  The GoFundMe campaign will end on Monday, October 2.  To donate, please visit HERE.  Any amount will make a BIG difference, and thank you for all that you’re doing to make that difference in a young child’s life.
