Three years ago, if someone said the name
Stephen Amell to you, you probably would have had absolutely no idea who they were talking about. Fast forward to today, however, and the
Arrow star seems to be known by just about anybody you meet. The star is the lead actor on
The CW's
Arrow, he has been on multiple episodes of the
Arrow spin-off show
The Flash, set to feature in at least one episode of the upcoming
Legends of Tomorrow, and will get his shot at being a full-blown Hollywood star, as he is playing
Casey Jones in the upcoming
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel.
Two of Amell's most profilic features, however, are:
-
His involvement with his fans through social media
-
His penchant for charity
The latter of those two features has proved very fruitful in raising large amounts of money for various charities with his Sinceriously campaign. Well, Amell was recently at it again, using the popularity of the Amell vs Stardust fight at the 2015 WWE Summerslam to raise money for the charity Emily's House in Toronto. Emily's House is Toronto's first Pediatric Palliative Care Hospice, and is the sixth one in all of Canada. Amell once again used the Represent platform to sell a custom shirt design, this time in the form of an Arrow vs Stardust promotion.
Now that the campaign is over, you may have been wondering just how much the charity raised, Stephen Amell revealed that yesterday via his facebook. And all up, the charity raised $228,867.60 USD. Not bad at all, especially considering the campaign only lasted for just under six days. 100% of the proceeds of these shirts went to Emily's House.
Make sure to leave a comment below on what you think about Amell's charity efforts, and don't forget to share and hit that thumbs up!
