A few months ago, we reported that a local BTS ARMY group had launched a fundraiser to light the Star purple during BTS weekend. Their goal was to raise $3,000 to cover the cost of lighting the Star for multiple nights and thanks to overwhelming support from the El Paso community, they made it happen.

That same group was recognized during Monday’s county commissioners court meeting, where their efforts were acknowledged as a meaningful way to celebrate both BTS and the city’s vibrant fan culture.
