I love hearing stories like this! Liam Payne and Zayn Malik from One Direction helped give a charity a major boost in funds after auctioning off their bedtime "onesie." The duo's hand decorated PJ's were sold to an American fan for about £7,000, according to the Birmingham Mail.
The auction was all part of a global event called OnePiece2WorkDay, which saw thousands of people wear the comfy clothes to work. The whole thing was organized by the clothing brand OnePiece and Rob Langley-Swain, founder of The CAW Foundation. The charity was formed a year ago and aims to provide arts, sports and cultural projects for youngsters in deprived Midland areas. With the help Liam and Zayn's auction, Rob is on the way to raising £50,000 by the end of 2015.
This isn't Liam and Zayn's only involvement with charity. They worked with their bandmates in One Direction to raise millions for Comic Relief as part of Red Nose Day and their charity single, "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)."

Liam is also involved in the charity Trekstock with fellow bandmate Harry Styles. Trekstock is a charity that supports young people with cancer, by raising funds for life saving research and awareness through music, fashion and art collaborations, and organised trekking experiences. You can donate here and get entered for a chance to win a night out in London with Liam and Harry.
Zayn has also done projects through his art. Back in June, Zayn decorated a giant Gromit sculpture that went on display in Bristol, England as part of ten-week art trail to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital’s expansion. "I’m absolutely delighted to be able to lend my support to Gromit Unleashed to raise funds for Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal," Zayn said about painting a Gromit. "Being asked to design and paint a Gromit was an absolute honour and despite being busy on tour, it’s given me something to look forward to on my down time in between shows. My house is going to feel a whole lot emptier and a lot less green without it!"
Way to go Liam & Zayn! Love seeing stuff like this!
