Drew Carey has just upped his ante and I am not talking about poker. It began with a 25k bid for the name @drew which is currently on auction by cancer patient Drew Olanoff. Carey upped his bid to 100k if his current Twitter, @drewfromtv, reached 100,000 followers. In recent news reported by CBS, Drew Carey offered to donate 1 million dollars to the LIVESTRONG foundation if he could reach a million followers on his Twitter by the end of the year.
The bigger story is of Drew Olanoff. On May 20th, Olanoff was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease. Olanoff took action and formed the Blame Drew's Cancer group partnering with LIVESTRONG. Noticing the special circumstance of his four letter Twitter name, Olanoff tells Mashables.com that he "saw an amazing opportunity to use his coveted Twitter name to raise funds for charity."
If you have a Twitter, be sure to follow Drew Carey on Twitter @drewfromtv.
