Anthem Story
Just One Firefly (211 Anthem Story)
Musical artist, Alexander Star, first became involved with 211 Broward mission in 2018 when he performed at the non-profit organization’s annual Community Care Plan Non-Profit Awards. He was inspired to create Just One Firefly, written in collaboration with 211 Broward, as a resource of hope for those who are struggling with thoughts of suicide, mental health, and dealing with everyday challenges. The performer is known for using songwriting to spark positive social impact. Just One Firefly was performed by Alexander Star live for the first time in March at 211 Broward’s 25th Silver Anniversary Celebration with Title Partner Roy Pollard Jr. Family Paying It Forward Fund.
“I was inspired to write Just One Firefly in support of the 211 helpline and the valuable work they continue to do each and every day to help those who are struggling,” said Singer/Songwriter Alexander Star. “The lyrics to Just One Firefly, share a powerful message that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. On National Just One Firefly Day, I hope this uplifting and relatable song can be spark light in someone who needs it.”
Hear from the
Impact Artist:
“I wrote “Just One Firefly” to subtly tell the world that 211 is here for those of us who struggle every day and need help coping with life. I literally got chills after recording the chorus and listening back for the first time cuz I felt the relatability oozing out…and a truly relatable song with a purposeful message is extremely powerful. Even if you’re not enduring ‘hard times’ at this moment, give this song a listen and share it with someone who may need a spark of light right now. And if you’re truly inspired, download the song for $1.00 to support the super valuable work that 211 is doing for people like you and me.”

“211 is that spark of light in the dark field that guides you, as your north star,
to where you need to be to get out of that field.”
