BTS Birthday Projects
RM
For RM’s birthday in 2020, we put together a project requesting letters of encouragement and positive energy that we could then send to nursing homes across the U.S. The members of BTSx50STATES came to this idea for his birthday project because we all know how much RM’s words have inspired people and changed ARMY’s lives and outlook on life, and we wanted to try to mimic what RM does for ARMY. Due to the pandemic of 2020, it had led to those in nursing homes and senior living facilities unable to receive visitors and see their families. We wanted to try to gather some words from ARMY that would then go out and hopefully bring a smile to someone’s face during this difficult time.
BTS’ leader, RM, and their golden maknae, Jungkook, share the same month (September) for their birthday! One thing BTSx50STATES does for shared birthday month’s is do a joint projects! In 2019, we did #NabACrab4Namjoon and #BagABunny4JK! Why a crab and why a bunny, you ask? In case you’re unfamiliar, RM is known to have a fascination with animals especially marine life. There are many instances during filmed content that RM has sought out, found, and brought back to share, miniature crabs! As for the bunny, Jungkook is quick, cute, and has been known to ‘look’ like a bunny with his wide eyes and wonderful smile – just like a bunny.
Through the generously of ARMY and BTSx50STATES members, we successfully raised money to adopt a crab in RM’s name, a rabbit in Jungkook’s & we were able donate an extra $150 to the World Animal Foundation!

2020
In honor of Yoongi and his passion for his hometown Daegu, we planned to raise $500 for Hope Bridge, a Korea Disaster Relief Association, who was battling the spread of coronavirus. We were inspired by Yoongi’s original donation of 100M SKW to the association. After a month of fundraising, we raised $810 from 42 contributions. We successfully exceeded our goal of $500 that was donated to Hope Bridge. Since the coronavirus outbreak started affecting the USA, we donated the rest of the money raised, $310, to the CDC Foundation. As BTSARMY, we were proud to support something close to his heart and something affecting other ARMY around the world.

The letters encouraged the children to chase their dreams, just as Yoongi chased his dreams with music.
