what you'll do
Welcome to the Good Place. And by that we literally mean the set of The Good Place, which is, in reality, a pretty good place to be! And the good is about to get even better. You and a friend will meet up with the epic cast as they film the final season, snap some stellar selfies and get to know the opposite of a demon that is Ted Danson over lunch. Are you forking excited? We know time is relative (Jeremy Bearimy, baby), but we’re confident you’ll have an awesome time here. After all, Ted’s character Michael said, “Any place or thing in the universe can be up to 104% perfect. That’s how we got Beyoncé.” And we think it applies to this, too. Flights and hotel included.
No donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes.
who you'll help
The Progeria Research Foundation's (PRF) mission is to discover treatments and the cure for Progeria, as well as aging-related disorders like heart disease. Progeria is a fatal, "rapid aging" disease afflicting children, who then die of heart disease at an average age of 14 years. They not only work toward future treatments and a cure, but also help children currently living with Progeria, providing hope—where none had existed before—that these remarkable children will live long and healthy lives. PRF's research efforts have established a definitive connection between Progeria, heart disease and normal aging. Finding the cure for one of the rarest diseases on earth, may also help millions of adults with heart disease and the entire aging population.

At Omaze, we believe fundraising should be about impact, not percentages. Our model allows us, in partnership with Charities Aid Foundation America (we call them CAFA), to really make a difference and disrupt the way society traditionally thinks about charitable giving.
Here’s how it works: Omaze and CAFA work together to offer incredible prizes and experiences that anyone can potentially win. You don’t have to donate to enter, but if you do, your donation to CAFA is then used to make a charitable grant to a great cause, which we love. Omaze pays for everything that’s needed to run the sweepstakes, which means the only ones taking a chance are the entrants (you!)—not the charity. The nonprofit can spend less time worrying about raising funds, and instead focus their energy on doing awesome work.
*This means that for the typical campaign, from every dollar you donate, 60 cents is passed directly through to CAFA, all of which is then used by CAFA to make a grant to the associated charity. If there are multiple charities, then grants of equal share are made to each charity. Of the remaining 40 cents, 25 cents is typically used to pay for things like advertising, payment processing and the costs of making the campaign a success—including providing the prize. Then the last 15 cents goes to Omaze and is used to cover the cost of providing and maintaining the technology and team that makes this all happen.
The result? Causes get a guaranteed grant with no risk and no overhead or investment, our lucky winners get awesome prizes, and everyone else gets to help a great cause and spread joy!
