Singer Adam Lambert's support for US schools has paid off - his fans have raised US$229,000 for the cause.
The American Idol star teamed up with education charity DonorsChoose.org to support public school classrooms and raise some much needed cash.
His devotees backed him in his pledge, with one fan group alone netting US$82,700 - and Lambert has filmed a video thanking them for their endeavours to support the charity.
He says, “I am unbelievably moved by the generosity and resolve of my fans, who have donated beyond what I could have ever expected to help students around the country.
"Although I was on tour during the length of the competition, I frequently checked in on the challenge progress and was so amazed to see the number of donors and total amount donated continue to rise and rise.”
