“People keep asking me what I want for my birthday, and I tell everyone the same thing,” she wrote on Instagram.
Happy birthday, Selena Gomez!
On Saturday (July 22), the pop star took to Instagram to celebrate her 31st birthday and reveal the gift she wants most on her special day.
“I am thankful for so much in my life and one of the things I am most thankful for is the work we’ve been able to do with the Rare Impact Fund through @Rarebeauty,” Gomez captioned a photo of herself blowing out candles on a gorgeous cake. “Because of YOU we’ve been able to raise awareness and increase access to mental health services for young people. This is my true passion in life.”
The Only Murders in the Building actress continued, “People keep asking me what I want for my birthday, and I tell everyone the same thing please do not get me anything but if you want to do something for my birthday, please donate to the Rare Impact Fund. If you have the means, consider donating to help us make a difference.”
“I LOVE YOU ALL!” she concluded her post, providing a donation link.
At Gomez’s 28th birthday in July 2020, her cosmetics firm Rare Beauty unveiled the Rare Impact Fund. The fund’s initial goal was to generate $100 million over the following ten years in order to support neglected regions with mental health care.
In February 2020, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer established unusual Beauty with the self-assured purpose that “being rare is about being comfortable with yourself.” Her third album, Rare, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, is referenced in the line’s title.
Gomez hinted that the follow-up to Rare was finally in the works earlier this summer. She posted pictures from the recording studio to Instagram with the remark, “Don’t worry guys, it’s coming.” From Paris, even.
