Hey Friends!
Â
  We hope youâve been doing well! As you guys may or may not know, today is Giving Tuesday in the U.S.! We actually only recently found out about this movement and we absolutely fell in love with it! Just to give you some background, in the movementâs own words, âentering its 7th year, GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year givingâ.
 Here is a quick rundown if you prefer illustrations:
 You can find more information about the movement on its website here!
 Hopefully, weâre starting to sound like broken records when we say that we support giving in all of its forms; quality time, love, care, kindness, support, passion, exposure, and monetary, and we hope that we can inspire you guys to give one or more of those things today in the way that youâve all inspired us to (today and everyday).
 We know that a lot of the time, itâs hard to see the impact that we all have on each other and on the world. Sometimes, you might not ever get to see it, which is why itâs so important to us that we try our best to show you guys and appreciate you all as often as we can. Who you are and what you are able to give matters. It affects people. It really does. And to those of you that have so graciously given to us and for us, those that have taken the time to send encouragement, concerns, questions, those that have made posts on their social platforms about our drives, those that have reblogged, retweeted, liked our posts and the posts made by others, those that have cared about what weâre doing and supported it, those that have donated money, we are so damn thankful for you. You have had an impact on us, on 5SOS, and on the charities that you have helped. You are making a difference. Thank you.
 If youâd like to give to any of the charities weâre supporting in the boysâ names, all of their JustGiving pages are still up!
Ashtonâs JustGiving Page (Supporting Music in Hospitals and Care [MiHC])
Lukeâs JustGiving Page (Supporting Little Kids Rock)
Michaelâs JustGiving Page (Supporting American Foundation for Suicide Prevention)
Calumâs JustGiving Page (Supporting American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)
 If you are unable to donate, please, please, PLEASE donât you dare feel guilty or discouraged! None of this would be possible without you guys. That is not a hyperbolic statement. We wouldnât be able to try and raise support and awareness for such wonderful causes without you guys. Caring is enough. Itâs always enough. Whatever you are able to do, we appreciate it.
 At the moment, we only have Calumâs birthday drive going, so if youâd like to reblog that post, you can do so here!
 You are all wonderful, amazing, good, spectacular, and every other positive adjective in the dictionary. Our only hope is that we can all continue working together and making the boys and the charities weâre supporting proud! Â
 We love you all.
