Celebrities and non-profits have been pairing up for a long time to help give good causes some exposure and a much needed PR boost. Below we've combed through some of the best videos to bring you nine amazing celebrity-powered social good campaigns. We've picked a wide range of stars (from first lady Michelle Obama to Ke$ha) and a wide range of causes (from malaria prevention to anti-bullying).

There is, however, no way of including every amazing campaign out there. We had to leave some standouts behind, like Matt Damon's work with Water.org, Leonardo DiCaprio's commitment to environmental issues and dozens more. You can check out LookToTheStars.org for a quick cheat sheet on what your favorite celebrity is really up to, or just take a look below for some spectacular examples.

We know we missed a bunch, so share your favorite celeb-backed campaigns in the comments below. Join the conversation.

The Stars of Social Good Series is supported by CITGO and the Fueling Good Campaign. It all starts with one person helping another. Then that person helps two more. Pretty soon you have a neighborhood, a community, an entire city – one act of kindness inspiring another. That’s why CITGO donates thousands of gallons of gas to worthy charities. It’s our way of keeping the momentum going.
