Celebrity Twitter Fundraiser

Celebrities are taking to Twitter to promote animal welfare by participating in the Twitter for the Critters Celebrity Challenge, which lasts through February 18. The challenge’s five teams, led by celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne, are each competing to see who can raise the most money for The Onyx and Breezy Foundation, which supports animal-welfare organizations and projects. One fan who contributes to the winning team will win a signed, one-of-a-kind poster autographed by 89 celebrity supporters, including animal-rights advocates Betty White, Wendie Malick, and Kristen Bell. All proceeds from the contest go directly to the foundation, which has set a fundraising goal of $25,000.
