Despite all the bashing of his tour and by the media, Charlie Sheen has been doing a bit of good on his tour in the form of fundraising for various causes in the cities that he has visited. He started a charity called Sheen’s Korner, which he says will help “those in need.” The name is the one he’d used in his short lived web show where he ranted on about everything and nothing.

Earlier this month in Toronto, he started a surprise march with a simple tweet that led to a pseudo parade through the streets to benefit OBAD, the Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorder. Although Sheen will not say whether he’s bipolar or not, but when asked, would only admit to being bi-winning. Whether he is or isn’t, he obviously has a soft spot for those that suffer from it. He had promised to match any donations made to the group, for which his new charity will no doubt handle.

And he will be doing it more fundraising in San Francisco, this time for a local paramedic and father of two. Bryan Stow was at the opening day game of the L.A. Dodgers versus the San Francisco Giants when he was assaulted and beaten so bad that they had to put him in a medically induced coma. It seems the provocation for the attack was a Giants oriented outfit that he and some friends of his were wearing. The mood was pretty hostile, according to his friend, but before they could leave without getting into a scrape, someone pushed them and swung, punching one of the two other gentlemen. But they did not respond and kept walking, trying to avoid further confrontation, but were then attacked again, all three of them, Bryan getting the worst of it.

Since then Stow had to have part of his skull removed to relieve the pressure and doctors have tried once already to wake him, but he did not respond to the first attempt. They are currently trying once again to bring him out of the coma, a process that takes around five days.

Sheen, being a big baseball fan, heard about the man’s plight and decided to use his show to get some help for Stow and his family, not only to pay for care, but to help in the $150,000 reward that is being offered to find and arrest the guys that attacked them. The Dodgers organization is also working to find out who did it.

All merchandise sold at his San Francisco stop on the tour will go towards the Brian Stow Fund, as the first fundraising effort for the Sheen’s Korner organization. The show is scheduled for Saturday night, April 30th, at Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium. It is one of the last few shows in the month long Violent Torpedo of Truth tour. Tickets may still be available.
