Monday the 25th marks Calum Hood’s golden birthday! And to celebrate, some members of the 5SOS Family have put together a fundraiser in honor of the 5 Seconds of Summer bassist’s special day. Partnering with We Need Crew, 5SOS fans organized a Calum Hood 25th Birthday Fundraiser through We Make Events to help out a cause that the band has been recently vocal about since the pandemic!

With touring on an indefinite halt until the pandemic comes to a stop, those that make the shows come to life every night are struggling for financial support until they are back to work. With fans usually supporting the crew by going to live shows, they thought of another way to help out, that can be done at the click of a button!
Many artists have already been vocal about helping out this particular charity with Niall Horan having a full virtual show and 5SOS releasing a full merch line in support!
I’m sooo happy to share that I’ll be playing a special one-off livestream show from London’s legendary @RoyalAlbertHall on Nov 7 ! All profits will be shared between my touring crew and the #weneedcrew relief fund. Tickets go on sale this Friday Oct 16 https://t.co/huqxTnNPHt pic.twitter.com/e3F7aR2dQZ

Set up by two of 5SOS’s own touring crew, this charity in particular has a direct connection to the band, so it makes sense as to why 5SOS fans gravitated toward this non-profit in particular. We can only hope that live shows come back soon, but until then we have to help out the ones who makes them go on before there is no one left when they come back.
With a goal of raising $250 dollars and a stop date for February 15th, fans are spreading the campaign through social media with the hashtag #5SOSFamCTH25! Philanthropy has been a huge topic in many fandoms this year, and it’s amazing seeing fans taking things into their own hands to help out those in need! We can’t wait to see how much the 5SOSFam raises for We Need Crew!
