Hey Beliebers! Today is the day Justin Bieber is celebrating his 17th birthday! Justin has a GREAT life going for him so what could you possibly get for the boy who has it all?! Well, Justin’s always proved to be different then the average teenager and he doesn’t want presents this year. Instead he wants all his fans just like YOU to donate money to Charity: Water so that he can help raise 17,000 dollars for clean water in developing nations. On Justin’s Charity: Water profile page he writes, “Did you know that about 4,500 kids die each day from waterborne disease? By building clean water projects for villages that need them, we can prevent this! I want to make my birthday matter this year — let’s make it so more kids can grow up to have a 17th birthday like me. Join me to make a change.”

Since it’s Justin’s 17th birthday he is asking fans, if they can, to donate only 17 dollars to the charity to help out in any way possible. Justin wants everyone to be able to help and he says, “Even if you don’t have $17 to give I just ask you to go out in your community and try and make a positive difference. Even the smallest act of kindness can go a long way. Thanks and God Bless! #makeachange.”
