Win a Walk-On Role in Star Trek Beyond

The cast of Star Trek Beyond, along with Bad Robot, Paramount Pictures and Omaze, will pay it forward with Star Trek: To Boldly Go, an initiative that will result in one lucky Star Trek fan winning a walk-on role in the new Trek adventure and nine global causes, chosen personally by the cast, receiving equal portions of the funds raised by the campaign.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Karl Urban and Idris Elba also gathered together to record a video message about the Star Trek: To Boldly Go campaign. The spot, recorded on the Enterprise bridge set, aired this morning, and it detailed how each $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising platform makes the participant eligible to win the walk-on role.

The walk-on role is actually the grand prize, which also includes a flight to Vancouver, Canada, hotel, a chance to meet the cast during filming and being transformed into a Star Trek character by the Star Trek Beyond hair, makeup and costume teams. Six additional winners will form the honorary Star Trek: To Boldy Go Crew, and they'll win a trip to Vancouver as well as the opportunity to meet the crew and observe filming.

Here are the 9 causes that will receive equal portions of the funds raised:

Brave Beginnings, an organization dedicated to ensuring that ventilators and life-saving neonatal equipment are always available to newborns in critical need. Nominated by Zoë Saldana.
Camp Sunshine, a place where children with life-threatening illnesses and their families can regroup, reenergize, and restore hope for the future. Nominated by Anton Yelchin.
