Brad Pitt, the founder of Make It Right, has shared a video encouraging the public to donate to the new Groupon Grassroots Campaign that is raising funds to build environmentally-friendly homes for people in need. Everyone who donates $10 will be automatically entered to win a trip to New Orleans to attend the Make It Right Gala on May 17.
The gala will include performances by Bruno Mars, Kings of Leon and Chris Rock. The winner will also be able to take a tour of a Make It Right home with an award-winning architect. The Make It Right Gala, which will be hosted at The Sugar Mill, will feature a cocktail hour, three-course dinner prepared by the city’s finest chefs, local jazz musicians, gift bags and more.
All donations made go directly to Make It Right. People can donate to the campaign until Tuesday night, April 29, at midnight. The winner will be randomly chosen on May 6.
