This is great!
ReplyDeleteBut really, no one from SPN?
very cool.. thanks!
ReplyDeleteTypical CW, they dont' give a crap about SPN.
ReplyDeleteSPN actors have been raising money for charities for years. This year they have the St Judes donations in honour of Gen and Jared's baby, Jensen raising money for a charity very close to his heart and Misha has been involved with his own projects too. SPN fans already donate to these causes so I dont imagine it matters if they are involved in this.
ReplyDeleteAnd any self-respecting Vampire Diaries fan knows about the Ian Somerhalder Foundation and they've been donating a lot of money as well. I don't see how a mention of, let's say, A Dog's Life Rescue for Jared, would have been any different from this.
ReplyDeletethats pretty cool, nice to see stars giving back and supporting important causes. Shows they are not as shallow as ppl may think.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but this is a pretty damn good thing from them, and you're here to complain about Supernatural? Get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteYes I am. If you knew anything about this show and its you'd know that we raise thousands of dollars every year, so the actors deserve to be on the list as well.
ReplyDeleteNice list. It's nice to see how actors give so much to charity. I wonder why supernatural wasn't included in the list though because those guys donate a lot to charities as well
ReplyDeleteWhich is already a great thing, why being upset about this? It makes no sense, it looks like you just want the show to get attention when this new thing is dedicated to charity.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea,and the MS foundation is near and dear to my heart.!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! but to reiterate, no Winchester brothers?! :(
