Zachary Levi and TwitChange Featured in WSJ

Thanks to a charity fundraiser, our Zachary Levi got a front page feature in today’s Wall Street Journal. WSJ covered the TwitChange auction, a celebrity fundraising effort for Haiti organized by Eva Longoria Parker in which Zac is a top bid getter. Here’s an excerpt:

Mr. Levi, with just over 80,000 followers on Twitter, is among the top bids. But so is Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, a mixed martial-arts contest. Mr. White has 1.2 million followers.

To sweeten the pot, Mr. White recently threw in free tickets to watch a UFC fight with him for the winner of his Twitter “Mega Package,” which includes having Mr. White as a follower on Twitter for 90 days, a “retweet” of a message and a mention of the winning bidder in one of Mr. White’s tweets. Bidding for the package reached $15,600 Monday night.

Mr. White, who actively manages his own Twitter account, was surprised by Mr. Levi’s bids, given his relatively low number of followers. “He must be bidding on himself, or maybe he has his mom bidding on him,” said Mr. White.

Mr. Levi says he isn’t bidding on himself, and neither is his mother. “I have no idea who is bidding this kind of money for this kind of connection with me,” Mr. Levi said. “I can only say, God bless them.”
