2011 Popcrush Music Awards: Best Humanitarian

PopCrush is celebrating pop music's most dedicated humanitarians in this round of our 2011 PopCrush Music Awards. Whether pop superstars were donating their time and effort towards a good cause or helping improve our world in general, all of our nominees did their philanthropic part in 2011.

• 50 Cent teamed up with the United Nations World Hunger Food Program to help feed millions by promoting the cause through social media outlets and using the profits from his energy drink.
• Lady Gaga, who launched her Born This Way Foundation to help promote self-esteem and equality. She also fought against bullying by releasing a PSA for We Stop Hate and by addressing the President himself about the issue.
• Kesha also did her part by crusading against animal cruelty. The 'Tik Tok' songstress spread awareness about the inhumane treatment of baby seals and street dogs, and announced that she plans to design a faux fur collection.
• Mommy-to-be Beyonce got kids up and at em' by joining forces with First Lady Michelle Obama for the Let's Move campaign, which was set up to battle childhood obesity. Bey even released a promotional music video for the cause!
