Her Twilight series co-stars (Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Anna Kendrick) might've gotten to do their part for the benefit of victims in Haiti in person at the famed "Hope for Haiti" drive, but Kristen Stewart was busy at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend, promoting The Runaways and Welcome To The Rileys.
That didn't stop her, though, from taking an active hand in raising funds for the cause.
According to E! Online, Kristen Stewart was disappointed that she was unable to lend a hand to "Hope for Haiti," so she and her team decided to auction off a weekend in the company of those at Sundance (including Kristen Stewart) to four young women.
This raised around four thousand dollars for the cause in one fell swoop, and, in all likelihood, it also made the weekend of those four participants as well.
Props to Kristen Stewart for getting involved in this wonderful, worldwide push to assist those who need it so badly right now.
Stewart's work adds to a wealth of Twilight star involvement in these efforts. Of course, for starters, Pattinson, Lautner, Kendrick, Rachelle Lefevre, and Tinsel Korey all participated in "Hope for Haiti." Lefevre also donated blood and made an active effort to get her Twitter followers on board for that as well, while many of her Twittering co-stars reached out to their followers to participate. Fansites did their part, and Stephenie Meyer spoke out to commend those efforts. Not to mention, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, and Tinsel Korey also participated in a little "Teens for Jeans" push to benefit those in Haiti. Finally, Peter Facinelli is doing a signing tomorrow, the partial proceeds of which will go to benefit these efforts.
With across-the-board participation like this, it really goes to show what positive influences these people can be.
