Supernatural Pie Day.
Supernatural Pie Day with Jensen “Action” Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha “Pie-in-the-Face” Collins and crew helped put Thanksgiving dinner on many Vancouver tables this weekend.
Supernatural cast, crew and fans raised the most money — $47,804 — for the Vancouver Food Bank in the 6th Annual REEL Thanksgiving Food Drive, which took place from September 24th to October 5th.
It was star Misha Collins’s willingness to be pie-ed in the face early on that got Supernatural rolling.
The long-running series established Supernatural Pie Day.
Pie Day on #supernatural. Watch for updates as some of your favourite cast/crew get “pied in the face” for charity. You can help donate to the Vancouver Food Bank to.

And the video of Misha Collins getting pie-ed by a crew member and then co-stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, jumpstarted the event.
But it looked like nothing could catch The Good Doctor which had raised $30,000 + for the food bank.
Then Collins tweeted the video on his own account on October 4th.

And followed it up with a new video of him pie-ing a President Donald Trump look-a-like.
Dreams do come true! Yesterday, I got to live out the fantasy of most sane people on the planet.
