Lance Bass Offers Fans A Chance To Cook With Him At Chef'd In Los Angeles In Support Of OnePULSE Foundation

Lance Bass is the quintessential jack-of-all-trades: singer, host, actor, producer, writer, entrepreneur, cosmonaut, foodie and proud philanthropist. Honoring his commitment to philanthropy, Lance Bass announced today that he has partnered with Chef'd, onePULSE Foundation and CrowdRise by GoFundMe to launch a campaign giving fans a chance to win a trip to Los Angeles to cook with him on his Facebook Live series, #LanceEats at the Chef'd headquarters. Proceeds from the sweepstakes will benefit onePULSE Foundation, a charity dedicated to creating a sanctuary of hope honoring the 49 lives that were taken in the tragic day at Pulse Nightclub.

"onePULSE foundation is near and dear to my heart after the horrible tragedy at Pulse Nightclub two years ago. Creating this fundraiser during Pride month is important to me because the LGBTQ+ community needs to stand together," said Lance Bass." By remembering the victims and survivors, we hope to create real change for the future. I also wanted to make sure that people were incentivized to show their support and I can't wait to show the winners the time of their lives cooking with me at Chef'd!"

The former *NSYNC star playfully announced the campaign on his Instagram with a video referencing several of *NSYNC's hit songs.

Now, Lance has traded in his microphone for a knife and has become one of the newest faces in the culinary world. He's competed on "My Kitchen Rules" with his mother, is co-owner of Estrella restaurant in Hollywood and he partnered with leading, non-subscription meal kit company, Chef'd to transform his southern-inspired family recipes into ready-to-prep meal kits including Baked Chicken and Creamy Rice Casserole and Mama's Coconut Cake.

For every $10 donation at www.CrowdRise.com/lancebass, participants will be entered to win roundtrip airfare for two, a two-night stay at a hotel in Los Angeles, and the exclusive opportunity to meet Lance and help prep him in the kitchen of Chef'd headquarters in Los Angeles before he goes live with his cooking demo on Facebook!

All proceeds from this sweepstakes will go to onePULSE Foundation, where Lance serves on the board. The fund is intended to support construction and maintenance of the memorial community grants to care for survivors and victims' families of the tragedy of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando on June 12, 2016, plus endowed scholarships in the names of the 49 victims, educational programs and a museum.

Contestants can enter as many times at they like before the contest goes "bye bye bye" on July 1st.
