Demi Lovato & Victoria Justice Make An Impact At 'Do Something' Awards

By Michael Lopez

You've got to love an awards show that has a call to action in its title. Black ties and limousines are not commonplace at VH1's Do Something Awards. Here, the honorees show up in Prius cars and sporting Red Cross t-shirts. That's because the Do Somethings are all about giving back and at Sunday night's gala, stars like Demi Lovato and Victoria Justice proved their devotion to some incredible causes.

The organization that seems to be the closest to Victoria's heart is Girl Up, a nonprofit devoted to bettering the lives of young women around the world.

"I'm excited that all these really cool people came together for this amazing awards show that is spreading such an important message," she said. "I hope that other people will get inspired from this and go out and do something themselves."

Demi Lovato has also supported her fair share of charities throughout the years and got a huge Do Something response for her live performance of "Skyscraper." Looking healthy, happy, and reinvigorated, Lovato took home her very own award for the charity single "Make a Wave."

Several other big names left their mark on the event and offered some inspiring words. Soccer star David Beckham earned a trophy for his ongoing humanitarian work and explained how he tries to instill charitable values in his children.

"The best example I can give to them is to show them to give back, and let them know they can help change the world," he said.

And proving that he's always game for an awards show, Justin Bieber made an appearance too. His particular cause, Pencils of Promise, helps build schools around the world. Other honorees included Olivia Munn, Sophia Bush, and Tyra Banks, who all seemed rather humbled by their charitable experiences.

But don't think that the Do Something Awards are all about celebrities. Several everyday do-gooders got recognized as well, including college students aiding Iraq widows, high-schoolers working in soup kitchens, and teens participating in ecological cleanups.

You can catch the full Do Something ceremony this Thursday on VH1.
