Those interested can visit Prizeo.com/NPH to make a $10 donation and receive 100 entries for the grand-prize opportunity to join Harris on set in Vancouver, British Columbia, this October. Roundtrip airfare and hotel accommodations for two are also included.
The sweepstakes benefits the American Theatre Wing, which is celebrating its centennial this year.
Harris, who announced the campaign in a video that can be seen above, said, “I am so proud to support my good friends at the American Theatre Wing. And I’m even more excited to have one ‘fortunate’ winner join me on set in Vancouver. Raising money for the Wing guarantees support for the next generation of theatre storytellers.”
“Having hosted four Tony Awards and winning one himself, Neil is the true definition of a show man. We are thrilled that he is able to join in support of the Wing for our Centennial, with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” added Heather Hitchens, president of the American Theatre Wing.
Harris’ Prizeo campaign runs through September 26.
