Behold the power of generosity and Twitter!

Ben Stiller made a deal and a pledge with Yahoo! to start an online charity campaign through his Twitter account. The company agreed to donate $1 for ever Twitter used that clicked on an online photo Ben posted of himself at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in France.

As of this morning, Yahoo will be donating $50,000 to Ben's campaign and Ben will be using that money to build a school in Haiti!

He tweeted out the happy news this morning, saying:

"Hey - woke up in Europe to learn we reached our goal of 50 thousand shares - Thank You!! Yahoo will build us a school in Haiti."

Amazing! Ben and his 50,000 followers should be very proud! Congrats!
