Will Smith to Bungee Jump Over the Grand Canyon, and One Lucky Fan Can Be There  Image

Beginning today, fans can enter to win a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness -- in person -- Will Smith bungee jump out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon as part of the special Will Smith: The Jump. Check out Will's announcement here. All fans will be able to watch the special LIVE on Will's Youtube channel on his 50th birthday this September 25th -- all to raise awareness and donations for international advocacy organization Global Citizen's education campaigns.

A $10 donation through Omaze.com/Will (official sweepstakes rules and other terms apply) provides fans with the chance to win this experience and support a great cause. Donation proceeds will benefit Global Citizen's advocacy work on education and allow them to support Education Cannot Wait, a fund to bring education to kids in emergencies. The grand prize experience for one lucky winner and their guest includes:

? Hang with Will and his family to celebrate his 50th birthday and his successful heli-bungee jump

? Strike a POSE with Will for the birthday photo

? Facetime a friend while you hang with Will

? Get flown out and put up in a hotel

Will believes that every child should have access to the transformative power of an education, which provides the chance to thrive, live and succeed. Through the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation he has chosen to partner with Global Citizen to support their ongoing advocacy work on education that allows them to support Education Cannot Wait, a global initiative that provides 75 million children in crisis-affected areas access to education.

In March of 2018, Youtube creators (and lifelong fans of Will) Yes Theory challenged Will to bungee jump from a helicopter. Watch the challenge here. Will boldly decided to face his fears and accepted the challenge, under the condition the jump is done for charity.

Fans who want to watch the big jump -- and Will's birthday celebration -- can do so by heading to Will's Youtube channel to watch LIVE on September 25th, 2018. Exact timing will be released at a later date.

Will Smith launched his Youtube channel in December 2017 and has accumulated more than 2.5M subscribers and almost 60M channel views. Will is giving viewers a behind-the-scenes view of his global adventures and sharing the stories that have shaped his career and perspective.

Westbrook Entertainment will produce the live stream in conjunction with Fly On THE WALL Entertainment. Fly On THE WALL Entertainment also produced Youtube Original Katy Perry: Witness World Wide, the 96-hour livestream on Katy's Youtube channel, in addition to the series Big Brother.
