Uplift and Empower Scholarship Update | We Did It!

In July, I announced a fundraising idea that was a total wildcard: a prize draw inspired by my years as a massive Harry Styles fan.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I launched the fundraiser, but I knew I had three prizes any fan would love, photos and videos from 17 concerts I could post on social media, and enough passion for my scholarship fund to send countless outreach messages asking fans to support my cause.

Thanks to a combination of prize draw entries and direct contributions, TOGETHER we raised $3,000 to support the Uplift and Empower Scholarship Fund!

The campaign in a nutshell:

💰 $3k Raised for Student Scholarships

🗓️ 2.5 Months of Promotion

🌎 8+ Countries Represented

🤝 15 Affiliate Fans Recruited

💬 100s of Outreach Messages

📱 240+ Videos Shared (So! Many! TikToks!)

👀 400k+ Views Across Platforms

…and I still have less than 2k followers combined across my Instagram and TikTok accounts, so when I say this was a group effort rooted in consistency and care, I truly mean it.

I’m just one person with a small (yet mighty) global community. Together, we’re helping make higher education more accessible for students.

And, of course, this announcement wouldn’t be complete without sharing the winners of the three amazing prizes:

🎉Congratulations to:🎉

🗞️🗞️Darian for winning the Harry Styles Magazine Collector’s Set!

🛍️🛍️Megan for winning the KISS VIP Package Merch Bundle!

🎟️🎟️Tamara for winning TWO Harryween Tickets!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this fundraiser. Every like, comment, share, and donation made a difference.

The Uplift and Empower scholarship application will open in early 2027, so stay tuned if you’d like to learn more about the students these funds will support.

Onward and Upward!
