Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has teamed up with Prizeo once again to bring an all-new contest which allows fans to enter to win tickets to opening night of Hamilton in San Francisco. All you need is a minimum $10 donation that directly benefits Code2040 and the Latino Community Foundation.

If selected, you and a friend will be flown to San Francisco to see opening night of their production of Hamilton. As Lin-Manuel is in London filming Mary Poppins Returns, he can not be in attendance as he has been for previous contests, so the winner's date will be his parents.

For different donation levels, you will receive a campaign-exclusive prize, all of which you can find listed on the right-hand side of the campaign site here.

Lin-Manuel introduced the contest, writing:

Hi everyone!

Did you miss me?! Well I'm back on Prizeo and this time I'm here with my parents. We're giving you a chance to win a trip for two to opening night of Hamilton in San Francisco on March 23rd. Since I'm in London, I can't make it. But you'll be going with my mom and dad-Luz and Luis! They're the best and they're going to make sure you have an incredible time.

It is more important than ever that for-profit and civil society are stepping up to build inclusive, safe spaces where minorities can work and thrive. By donating as little as $10 to be entered to win, your donations will also help support Code2040 and the Latino Community Foundation, two amazing organizations that are helping build the leaders of the future. Please check out their sites to learn more about the incredible work they're doing.

And if you donate more, you'll be getting extra entries (every $10 is 100 entries), helping the work being done by Code2040 and LCF even more, and you'll get rewards! Check 'em out-new t-shirts, signed items, and our brand spankin' new tank top.

Whoever wins, we'll fly you and a guest to San Francisco for opening night and we'll put you up in a hotel. Plus you'll be going to the show as my parents' guests! I can't wait to see who wins and hear how it goes!

I am thrilled that we're supporting the work of Code2040 and LCF-and that you get the chance to experience the San Francisco Hamilton opening night! Thank you again for continuing to team up with me and supporting the work of so many incredible causes.

Siempre,
Lin-Manue

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.
