Justin Bieber may just about be the most well known and financially secure kid around but he hasn’t forgotten the less fortunate with the announcement today that he hopes to raised many millions for charity through his ‘Believe’ charity drive.

Twenty charities have been chosen with the full list bottom of the post and amongst them if Irish charity Barrestown. He is calling on fans to contribute to the twenty charities around the world and he will donate a portion of the proceeds from his October 28th holiday release ‘Under The Mistletoe’ to charity.

“I am launching the BELIEVE CHARITY DRIVE because I know firsthand that if you believe in your dreams, everything is possible,” Bieber explains. The BELIEVE CHARITY DRIVE directly benefits charities that are making a difference in the world. You can go to www.justinbiebermusic.com and donate as little as one dollar, or even donate your time, because everything will make a difference. Please join me in our quest to raise millions of dollars by the release of my new 2012 album, BELIEVE. I know that with your help we can make a change.”
