Preposition 'Of' or 'For'

This has been a question asked by so many people around the world, but I still have got to post this.

In such examples,

I'm the in-charge OF {event name}. OR

I'm the in-charge FOR {event name}.

And,

The official fan club OF {artist name}. OR

The official fan club FOR {artist name}.

Thanks, please also provide explanation.

Hello, Dominic — and welcome to English Forums. In the first place 'in-charge' as a noun is an infelicitious coinage and should be dropped. Other than that, you can use either preposition in your specific sentences.
