This
holiday season, why not spread some cheer by tuning into a brand-new annual
online event? The super-popular Youtube channel
What’s Trending has teamed up with
Virgin Mobile to create the Tube-a-Tweet-a-thon
Holiday Spectacular.
This
online variety show will not only be entertaining, but will be raising money
for charity! Namely, the Covenant House, a non-profit organization that serves
homeless youth with shelters around the country.
The
spectacular will include appearances from YouTube stars such as Grace Helbig
(DailyGrace), Justine Ezarik (iJustine), and the cast of the “Annoying Orange”
series, as well as performances from stars like Pentatonix and Pia Toscano!
The
variety show will air on the What’s
Trending Youtube channel on Thursday, Dec.
13, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, so be sure to tune in and donate (with parents’
permission, please).
Can’t
donate? There’s something even simpler you can do to help. Just by tweeting
with the hashtag #tubeathon,
Virgin Mobile will donate one dollar for each hashtagged tweet up to 50,000
dollars. So all you’ve gotta do is sign online and tweet. Could it get any
easier?!
Don’t
forget to join the fun next Thursday on YouTube! Which celeb guest are you most
pumped for? Blog about it, babes.
