'Supernatural's' Misha Collins encourages Random Acts of charity
Twitter
Google
The angels on "Supernatural" aren't exactly doling out miracles to earth-bound strangers. Star Misha Collins, however, is doing just that with his just-formed charity, Random Acts. Misha Collins' Twitter account is generally reserved for strange updates about livestock, porn, and Justin Bieber's hair's civil rights. However, after the devastating earthquake hit Haiti in January of 2010, Collins encouraged his Twitter followers - or minions, as he affectionately calls them - to donate to the relief effort.
Within twenty-four hours, Collins' fans had raised over $30,000. With that kind of influence, it's no surprise that Collins has decided to "conquer the world one random act of kindness at a time," according to the mission statement of his new non-profit organization, Random Acts.
Collins recorded a video message to his fans -- and his minions -- filling them in on his latest random acts, which include everything from handing flowers to strangers, buying clothing and shoes for an underprivileged child, and providing new mattresses and chairs for elderly couples in need.
For his next trick, Collins will be running. On September 5th, the actor will jog "as far as he can," and he's asked do-gooders to pitch in by pledging a per-kilometer donation or a flat contribution.
Currently, he's raised over $8,000 in flat donations alone. The funds will be divided between an orphanage the organization supports in Haiti, victims of the flooding in Pakistan, and "random acts of kindness" all over the world.
And, of course, Misha being Misha, .01% has been allocated for bribing public officials.

Misha Collins is a beautiful person inside and out! He makes me want to do more for my community...the world. :-)
I hear ya Nicole =D!before watching this i came up with this cute bit about misha being adorable and how i could get behind anything he does...but then i watched the video and my heart broke. I literally just had a tear fall. Suddenly my response seemed so stupid and lighthearted and selfish. Seeing this...I just I.. I duno. I feel ashamed that ive not been doing more to help...everyone. Cheers to Misha for getting this out there. Its good to know there are people like him willing and ready to make a differnce.
I wish there was more people like Misha, the world would be a much better place.
