]]> Superheroes on and off the screen. Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds and Paul Bettany answered an urgent call for help on Sunday, March 25, after Fox News Shannon Bream asked Avengers stars to send well wishes to a terminally ill child.

“Need your help Twitterverse — trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he wants is a greeting from one of the Avengers,” Bream, 47, tweeted. “If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!”

Evans, 36, known for his role as Captain America in the action franchise, responded, “Happy to! DM me.”

Reynolds, 41, who will join the series in the upcoming flick Avengers: Infinity Wars as the raunchy mercenary Deadpool, also vowed to show his support. “I’m more of a ‘Reverse Avenger,’” he joked while replying to Bream. “But happy to help. DM me.”

Bettany, 46, also expressed his desire to greet the boy. “I’m the purple one,” replied the actor, who voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man films and plays Vision in The Avengers.“DM me.”

Chloe Bennet, who played superhero Daisy Johnson on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for 5 seasons from 2013 to 2018, asked Bream for the little one’s name.

“Emilio,” the journalist responded alongside a prayer hands emoji.

More celebrities, including Meghan McCain and Greta Van Susteren, also retweeted Bream’s message and shared their desire to help the anchor reach The Avengers stars.

Bream shared an uplifting message later on Sunday after receiving a wave of support from the actors. “Thank you, EVERYONE! Major progress has been made because of you,” she wrote.

This is not the first time The Avengers stars have rallied together for a good deed. Last December, Evans invited Keaton Jones, a young boy from Tennessee whose bullying video went viral, to the Avengers: Infinity Wars premiere in L.A.

Reynolds, who won the Critics’ Choice Award for Entertainer of the Year in December 2016, dedicated the honor to young cancer patients who related to his character, who also suffered from the disease.

“The character had cancer and some of the people that this character resonated with was sick kids. So I would like to dedicate this honor to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the SickKids Foundation of Toronto, two incredible organizations that do so much for so many kids in need,” he said at the time. “They started a fight and it’s up to us to finish it.”

]]> Now that you enjoyed your leftovers and scored a few deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s time to settle down and focus on giving back. What better time to help out a great cause than on Giving Tuesday, right?

Giving Tuesday, aka #GivingTuesday, started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a way for people to take a break from the post-Thanksgiving shopping extravaganza and give back to charities and causes that are close to their heart.

It’s also a great way to kick off the holiday season by paying it forward and even finding a new cause to focus on for the upcoming new year.

There are many good celebrities and organizations that are getting involved this year. Whether it’s matching donations or sharing support for an underserved initiative, the celebrity news headlines, and our Twitter feeds, are bursting with #GivingTuesday notifications!

Good Organizations Increase Donations on #GivingTuesday

Many companies and causes are doubling donations, which helps to increase the impact of contributions on this important day.

Radisson

The Radisson hotel brand announced its #ShareYourPlate initiative, which invites social media users to share photos of their plates of food today to raise awareness for the hunger problem worldwide. For every photo shared on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #ShareYourPlate, Radisson will donate $1, up to $500, to benefit Feeding America and The Global FoodBanking Network.

“This campaign supports the brand’s commitment to help source one Million meals through strategic efforts in our communities,” said Rich Flores, vice president, branding, Radisson. “We have declared through Radisson’s responsible business program, there is No Room For Hunger and are committed to driving awareness on the ground at our hotels and even on social media through initiatives like #ShareYourPlate”.

Humane Society and Halo Pets

The Humane Society teamed up with organic pet food brand Halo Pets to match donations with a bowl of food for a shelter animal.

“So grateful for @halopets support this #GivingTuesday! For every $1 donated, 1 bowl of food will help feed a rescued pet! #GivingFoodsDay,” the Humane Society tweeted.

No Kid Hungry

For Giving Tuesday, the nonprofit No Kid Hungry teamed up with a generous team of donors to match donations for the entire day.

Charity: water

Charity: water has a similar initiative. When donors sign up for the organization’s monthly giving community, a generous donor will match their gift today.

Alzheimer’s Association

Charity Miles, an app that partners with organizations to raise money for nonprofits, shared its support for the Alzheimer’s Association by ensuring its Twitter followers get out and run.

When users track their runs through the Charity Miles app, they automatically raise money for their favorite charities. Donations come from a number of corporate sponsors.

]]> If you’re active on social media, you’ve probably noticed the #22PushUpChallenge hashtag on your feed. This trend is more than a fitness challenge, it’s an aim to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention.

The 22 Push-Up Challenge began in order to focus attention on the estimated 22 veterans that commit suicide every day, according to CBS News. That totals 7,400 veterans each year.  

#22Kill hopes to reach a documented 22 million push-ups in order to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention.




“When the statistics came out that 22 veterans a day were committing suicide it was almost unbelievable. We wanted to find out more where this number came from,” Retired Marine Don Nguyen, deputy director of 22Kill, the foundation behind the challenge, told the news organization.

According to CBS, the Department of Veterans Affairs adjusted the number of suicidal vets from 22 to 20, but that isn’t affecting 22Kill’s mission.

Nguyen said, “We are not going to be done until it is zero. And we are not going to change our name of a new study. What matters is that the number is going down and not up.”

Similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge, which raised $115 million for ALS in 2014, the #22PushUpChallenge is making waves across the celebrity universe. Here are ten Good Celebrities that are taking part in the challenge to raise awareness for the important cause.

Chris Evans

“I didn’t know this,” he said in his Twitter video. “I didn’t know that was happening at that rate. That’s why these challenges are good because it raises awareness and shines a light on issues that need to be addressed.”

Millie Bobby Brown of “Stranger Things”

Aaron Paul

Houston Texans Star JJ Watt and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Kevin Hart

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris

John Krasinski
