**To celebrate this year’s Star Wars 40^(th) anniversary, Star Wars: Force For Change
has partnered with Omaze to launch a fundraising campaign in benefit of UNICEF and
Starlight Children’s Foundation.**

 

[Star Wars: Force for Change](https://forceforchange.starwars.com/), the charity
programme run by Lucasfilm and The Walt Disney Company, launched Star Wars “Past,
Present, and Future” on 11th April. The campaign kicked off with a video featuring
Daisy Ridley and Mark Hamill (above) encouraging people to take part, and runs for
four weeks until 11^(th) May.

While entry to the competition is free, entrants are incentivised to donate with
different donation amounts giving them extra entries to the competition as well 
as rewards. These include a digital badge at the lower end of the scale for a donation
of $15, a t-shirt plus 1,000 entries for $100, a signed Rogue One print plus 100,000
entries for $10,000, and at the very top for $50,000: a private screening of Star
Wars: The Last Jedi for the winner and 20 guests in their hometown, plus 500,000
entries into the competition.

 

All who [enter the competition](http://www.Omaze.com/StarWars) on the Omaze site
have the chance to win an appearance in the upcoming untitled Han Solo movie, tickets
to the world premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, or an overnight stay at Skywalker
Ranch.

 

The net proceeds from donations will be split equally between [UNICEF](https://www.unicef.org.uk/)
and [Starlight Children’s Foundation](https://www.starlight.org.uk), which is the
newest charity beneficiary of Star Wars: Force for Change. Through a $1 million 
grant, Star Wars: Force for Change is supporting the foundation’s core programmes
to support hospitalised children through Starlight’s network of more than 700 children’s
hospitals, clinics, camps and other partners across the US.

 

Star Wars: Force for Change and fan donations through this campaign will also provide
new Starlight programmes, including Star Wars-themed Starlight Brave Gowns, to tens
of thousands of hospitalised children across the country.

 

The next Star Wars film, The Last Jedi, will be released in December this year.

 

In other Star Wars-related news from this country, February’s [Capital Sci-Fi Con](http://www.capitalscificon.co.uk/)
in Edinburgh raised over £75,000 for [Children’s Hospice Association Scotland](https://www.chas.org.uk/)(
CHAS). Capital Sci-Fi Con volunteers and event founder Keith Armour regularly fundraise
for CHAS, and visited the children at CHAS’s Rachel House hospice at Christmas dressed
as Star Wars characters.
