Game of Thrones cast in International Rescue Committee appeal
Melanie May | 18 March 2016 | News
The cast of HBO’s Game of Thrones has joined the International Rescue Committee in a campaign to raise awareness of the plight of Syrian refugees.
Using the hashtag #RealmToTheRescue, the campaign asks people to donate to help save lives. Lena Heady (Cersei Lannister), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maise Williams (Arya Stark), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) are among cast members asking for donations in the campaign video.
The campaign is also encouraging donations by offering people a chance to win a trip to the Game of Thrones season 6 premiere party in LA if they give money. Those who donate unlock a number of additional ‘campaign perks’, including extra entries to the competition, signed merchandise and other campaign exclusive content.
