Actors from Star Trek Beyond have hand-picked their favorite charities, which will benefit from an auction for a walk-on role in the film.

The Star Trek: To Boldly Go campaign will support the cast's personal selection of nine global causes, which will each receive equal portions of the funds raised when fans enter for a chance to win a walk-on role in director Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond, the third film in the blockbuster franchise, released on July 8, 2016.

The campaign runs from 12:01 a.m. PST on July 14th until 11:59 p.m. PST September 1st.

To coincide with the campaign's launch, cast members John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Idris Elba recorded a special video message on the iconic Starship Enterprise bridge set. The video, released today, kicked off production and features the cast inviting fans to make franchise history as the first fans to ever win a walk-on role in a Star Trek movie -- and this one, the milestone release timed to coincide with the franchise turning 50.

For each $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising platform, eligible participants will be automatically entered for a chance to win.

  • The Star Trek: To Boldly Go Grand Prize winner and a guest will:
  • Fly to Vancouver and stay in a 4-star hotel
  • Go behind the scenes of Star Trek Beyond, hang with the cast, and experience the filming of the movie

Be transformed by hair, makeup and costume teams into a Star Trek character and filmed for a scene in Star Trek Beyond

In addition to the Grand Prize Winner, six additional winners will be randomly selected throughout the campaign to form the honorary "Star Trek: To Boldly Go" crew. Star Trek: To Boldly Go is the first Omaze campaign to have winners every week.

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
