Justin Bieber Turns 17, Asks Fans to Donate to Charity In His Honor

Justin Bieber doesn't need any birthday gifts for his 17th birthday today, so he's asking his adoring fans to redirect their moolah to help an organization that could really benefit from a little extra cash. The Bieb has been tweeting up a storm today, asking followers to donate to the American Cancer Society in his honor.

The instructions for donating on the Bieb's big day, as posted on his page today, are as follows: "Fight cancer & donate $10 to ACS in honor of JB’s bday: text BDAY to 20222."

Yesterday he asked fans to donate to mycharity:water, an organization that helps get clean water to families in need. He wrote on his page that he had already helped earn millions for the organization. "Thanks to all you Beliebers, we hit $7 million raised on mycharity: water today! #makeachange" he wrote.

So, if the Bieb isn't being showered with gifts from his tween fans, what is he doing on his special day? Well, he's definitely eating cake and hanging out with his grandparents!

He tweeted yesterday: " less than 24 hours until my BDAY!! Getting grandma's cake and figuring out the best way to use my bday...got some great ideas...so... "
