Do you want to celebrate Star Wars' 40th anniversary — and support a good cause for the chance to win amazing prizes? Star Wars: Force For Change has the fundraising campaign you're looking for.

As announced today on Good Morning America, Star Wars: Force For Change has teamed up with Omaze to launch Star Wars "Past, Present, and Future" — a new fundraising campaign to benefit UNICEF and Starlight Children's Foundation — in honor of the saga's landmark anniversary.

The initiative kicks off today, April 11, and runs for four weeks until May 11; all who enter at Omaze.com/StarWars will have the chance to win an appearance in the upcoming untiled Han Solo movie, tickets to the world premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, or an overnight stay at Skywalker Ranch. Each week, a new prize will be awarded to a randomly-selected winner, and at the end of the campaign, one randomly-selected grand prize winner will be awarded all three Force-filled experiences.
