Charlie Cox's Sightsavers Birthday Fundraiser

British actor Charlie Cox is especially known for his portrayal of Matt Murdock, a blind superhero, on several seasons of Marvel's Daredevil, as well as roles in The Theory of Everything, Stardust, Boardwalk Empire, a year on the Harold Pinter play, Betrayal, and, more recently, a full season on Irish crime drama, Kin. Or maybe you know his name because he's been trending over his heavily-rumoured appearance as Matt Murdock in the upcoming Spider-Man No Way Home. What you may not know is Charlie has continually used his status and visibility to do so much for the less fortunate, including travel and outreach with various charities.

Charlie's birthday is December 15th! Once again, we've created this GFM out of appreciation for Charlie's endless generosity, in the vein of something we thought he'd enjoy: a fundraiser benefitting Sightsavers International, a charity he loves and personally supports.

Together, you've all raised $8000+ over the past three years for different charities as an annual birthday gift to Charlie. ♥ And he's said to us, directly, 'It's the best gift anyone could give me.'

Starting today through Wednesday, December 15th, we're hoping Charlie’s fans will come together and help raise a little money for this very worthy cause. It's been a rough year so any donation, big or small, is loved and appreciated and goes toward making this world a better place. If your employer does corporate matching on charitable donations, please contact us so we can add that to the total! Donations from any country will be converted on the site!

This is the very important bonus: You can leave a comment with ANY donation so Charlie can read your birthday message! No, we don't ask Charlie to donate to this fundraiser! Yes, he keeps donating to this fundraiser! But this also means he can scroll through and read your comments!

Sightsavers works to eliminate avoidable blindness and promote inclusion for people with disabilities in 30 of the world's poorest countries. For more information, please check out the Sightsavers International site!

Thank you all so much!
