Robert Pattinson praises fans for helping to raise money for charity
Variety spoke to Rob on the black carpet at the 13th annual GO Gala and this is what Rob had to say about his fans getting involved with The GO Campaign:
Robert Pattinson is giving back, but he’s even more impressed that his friends and fans are joining him in the fight.
“It’s amazing,†Pattinson told Variety on the black carpet outside Neuehouse in Hollywood at the Go Campaign’s annual gala. “And they’ve done it every year. It’s kind of — it’s so sweet and I think it’s a great organization. That’s why I’m kind of trying to promote it.â€
On Saturday night, the actor contributed to the $150,000 for relief for migrant children and over $200,000 to combat gun violence raised during the evening.
Since Pattinson joined the Go Campaign as an ambassador in 2015, his fans have raised more than $100,000 for the organization and its efforts to help children in need all over the world. Last month, the Go Campaign announced the #WeGOForRob initiative, an effort to raise $15,000 for Freedom 4 Youth (an organization in Santa Barbara) on behalf of Pattinson. He also shared the impact that simply attending a Go Campaign fundraiser can have.
It’s amazing what people can do when they band together.
