A fan club is a
grouping that is devoted to a well-known person, idea, group or at times even
an extinct object. Most fan clubs are managed by fans who dedicate substantial
time and resources to aiding them. There are also “official” fan clubs that are
managed by someone related with the person or organization the club is focused
on. This is the case for many sports teams, musicians and more.
Bigger fan clubs
may arrange events and fundraising relating to what they are founded on. In
some instances the money that is raised goes straightaway to the people the fan
club is based around or to finance the fan club itself.
