(From Red Cross Chat)
Hugh Jackman is going to donate $100,000 to a nonprofit organization. How will he choose? He’s asking people to convince him of the worthiness of their favorite charity in a tweet.

So, whether you‘re currently on Twitter or not, here’s your chance to be responsible for a huge donation to your favorite charity (we hope it’s American Red Cross!).

1. Go to http://twitter.com
2. Follow prompts to set up an account
3. Once you’re in, you have 140 characters to show your love and convince Hugh Jackman that his money should go to us
4. Tell him by typing @RealHughJackman followed by your inspiring endorsement
