Alex Meraz, Julia Jones and Tinsel Korey at "do good. Live well" Campaign (Video)

Members of the “wolf pack” in the upcoming Twlight Saga: Eclipse lent a hand earlier this week to help build a playground at a local Los Angeles elementary school. The actor’s efforts is part of iParticipate and United Healthcare’s “do good. Live well.” Campaign.

"Everyone needs a sense of purpose, a sense of community, and I think it’s great to be able to help out in any way I can to provide that," Alex Meraz said. "I just know that I couldn’t be where I’m at now as an actor and as an artist if I didn’t have the opportunities, the resources, to just grow up, you know, and have a good time as a child."

From painting flower pots to building platforms, the actors did it all to pinch in and help a school get its first playground in 60 years.
"For kids who don’t have a playground, who don’t have a safe place to go after school, having a place where they can be productive and play with kids and interact and have fun, it’s just so important” said star Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in the film. “Because the alternatives are just potentially really bad."

Jones has also seen the soon to be released ‘Eclipse’ and says, "I’m psyched about it, I’m really, really excited. I just saw it recently and it’s awesome. It’s funny and I couldn’t be happier."
