Have you ever wanted to hang out on the iconic Starship Enterprise bridge, or better yet be part of the new Star Trek movie? Well, now’s your chance, courtesy of Omaze, Bad Robot and Paramount!
For the first time in Omaze history, eight cast members and the director of a major studio film franchise have decided to come together to create a unique philanthropic initiative, aptly named ”Star Trek: To Boldly Go”. One lucky ”Star Trek” enthusiast will win a walk-on role in the film and nine charities, personally selected by the cast and director Justin Lin, will receive equal portions of the funds raised when fans enter for a chance to win.
In addition to the Grand Prize Winner, six additional winners will be randomly selected throughout the campaign to form the honorary “Star Trek: To Bodly Go” crew.
The ”Star Trek: To Boldly Go” Crew will:
• Visit the closed set and meet the cast of Star Trek Beyond
• Be among the first to see scenes from the latest film
• Travel to Vancouver
Cast members Anton Yelchin, Chris Pine, John Cho, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, and new addition, Idris Elba, kick off an impromptu dance party in the video announcing the raffle to give fans a sneak peak at what may go down on set.
For every $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising platform, eligible participants will be automatically entered for a chance to win. Additional information attached and brow!
