Moet & Chandon, the official champagne of the Annual Golden Globe Awards, continues its philanthropic celebration, “Toast For A Cause” at tonight's Golden Globes, hosted by Ricky Gervais.

“Toast for a Cause” allows attending stars a moment to help worthwhile charities and deserving causes around the world. 

As celebrities mingle on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Moet invited the nominees to raise a toast in support of their favorite charity.

For each toast raised, Moet gifts a lucky charity with a donation made in each person's name.

Tonight saw Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale toasting their favorite charities upon arriving on the red carpet.

Also participating in the charity initiative was Chris Hemsworth, who toasted the Australian Children's Foundation while walking the red carpet for his first Golden Globes.

Christina Aguilera, Tom Hanks, Jake Gyllenhaal and Olivia Wilde were quick to enjoy the bubbly and toast to their favorite charity.  Moet & Chandon graciously donated $1,000 dollars to each of the participants' charities of choice.
