Laura-Louise Tobin, the Jersey Shore fan at hand, said Snooki was the cheapest of the Jersey Shore cast and thought $2,000 would be easy to raise. The Facebook group to get Snooki of ‘[Jersey Shore’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jersey-mikes); to Toronto currently has 92 members and is almost halfway to the goal of a glorified night on the town with Snooki. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crowd-funding for Celebrity Appearances:** Opportunity for fans to leverage social media platforms to raise funds and bring celebrities to their local areas. - **Fan-driven Event Experiences:** Fans organizing events and experiences with celebrities using online platforms and social media. - **Celebrity Brand Partnerships:** Opportunity for celebrities to collaborate with local businesses and venues for promotional appearances and events. ### Where This Applies - **Event Planning and Management:** Event planning companies can capitalize on the trend of fans organizing and funding celebrity appearances. - **Social Media Platforms:** Platforms like Facebook provide opportunities for fans to create groups and raise funds for bringing celebrities to their local areas. - **Hospitality and Entertainment:** Hotels, nightclubs, and other entertainment venues can collaborate with celebrities for promotional appearances and events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Media Follower-Celebrating Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streets-of-toronto.md) - [Canadiana-Themed Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grizzly-bar.md) - [Charitable Racoon-Inspired Beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raccoon-lager.md) - [Iconic Show Toronto Popups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-in-toronto.md) - [Popstar VIP Fan Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonas-brothers-join-turo.md) - [Immersive Book-Influencer Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookworm-bash.md) - [Themed Celebrity Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheraton-centre-toronto.md) - [Celeb-Hosted Super Bowl Parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rob-gronkowski.md) - [$75 NYC Pride Trips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-trips.md)
