MTV has a great article detailing how Twilight Stars such as Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene, Michael Welch, Christian Serratos and Kellan Lutz are using their newfound fame to raise awarness for their favorite charities:
Jakson Rathbone for Spencer Bell Memorial
Many Twilighters are big fans of Jackson's band 100 Monkeys. But in addition to simply rocking out, the Monkeys have the higher purpose of paying tribute to a friend and musician who died of cancer in 2006. "We've been doing a lot of work to keep the Spencer Bell legacy alive through SpencerBellMemorial.com," Rathbone said. "Our friend was an amazing poet, artist, musician and lyricist, and we're putting out an album of his." That record, Live & Wasted, is now on sale, along with bracelets that help raise funds to fight cancer. "I can't tell you how many letters we get in our fan mail for the band that say how much Spencer has touched their lives and how they had family members pass away from cancer," Rathbone said. "We're lucky to have all his music. He's immortal. His soul is in his music, and that's one thing I firmly believe in as an artist. You're blessed to live eternally in your art."
Read the whole thing at MTV. It goes on to talk about the charities that Ashley, Mike, Christian & Kellan support. I picked this one because I am a cancer survivor so it is close to my heart!
