A self-proclaimed “professional fangirl” who has 4,153,037+ YouTube subscribers, 2,120,00+ Twitter followers, 1,120,000+ Facebook fans, and a VERY active Tumbr account, Tyler Oakley is continuing a now-two-year-old birthday tradition (which he celebrated March 22) with a crowdfunding campaign to benefit The Trevor Project. (My pal James Lecesne co-founded Trevor and I’ve been a supporter for the last 15 years. It’s a truly great organization that does important work. Saving young lives.) Last year, Oakley was able to raise $29,000 for this worthy cause of suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth. On February 10, he announced his intentions to raise $150,000, by way of a Prizeo campaign, with bonuses including Thank You postcards, campaign T-shirts, signed photos, personalized video messages, and more. Plus, an opportunity to win a trip to LA for two to go on a date with Tyler. At this writing he’s raised an amazing $$480,720 and he’s now hoping to hit the $500,000 mark by tomorrow. (We can do it too, since I first posted this Friday, the total has increased nearly $50,000!) You can help him get there by clicking right here.
