Help Drew Raise $1 Million Dollars for Cancer Research

without comments

Drew Olanoff has cancer.  You can visit BlameDrewsCancer.com to learn more about Drew.

In addition to cancer, Drew also has the username @drew on Twitter.  To raise money for Livestrong, he decided to auction off the username @drew figuring that some wealthy person named “Drew” would want to buy it.

To make a long story short, here’s what happened: Drew Carey said that he would buy the name for $100k.  Then, he said that he would donate $1 to Livestrong for every person that followed him on Twitter by the end of the year…up to $1 million.

The video below from Drew and Drew tells the whole story, but in the meantime here’s what you can and others can do:

  1. If you’re not already signed up for Twitter, go to http://twitter.com and sign up.
  2. Then, go to http://twitter.com/drewfromtv and click the “Follow” button at the top of the page.
  3. You’re done!  Drew Carey will donate a $1 to Livestrong for your efforts.

It’s just that easy…so easy, in fact, that you might want to tell all of your friends.
