Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are racing to see who can get the post Tweet-crazy followers. Our hip head-of-state, Barack Obama tweeted up a storm during the campaign. And people can’t get enough of John Mayer’s chronically cryptic tweets.

Well Hugh Jackman is out to earn his Twitter stripes, and do some good while he’s at it. Yesterday, the X-Men star and Aussie charmer tweeted that he will donate $100,000 to the favorite charity of someone who can, in the Twitter-mandated 140 characters or less, make the best case for their cause.

Hitting the 140 limit himself, Hugh had to use a second tweet to pump up all those twitter fans to get involved, “The more passion shown for your charity the better! Get the support of your friends and teach them the importance of giving.”

Looking to get some support for your cause? Hugh’s right, it’s all about getting people on board. Find out what other steps you need to take to start a charity campaign in your own neighborhood (or Twitter-hood!).
