Star Trek Beyond’s Idris Alba is Raffling Himself Off For Valentine’s


Before making it back to the big screen in one of this year's most highly anticipated science fiction movies, The Dark Tower, Idris Alba is looking for a date for Valentine's Day.

The Star Trek: Beyond star is trying to raise some money for the W.E. Can Lead charity by raffling himself off for a date on Feb. 14. According to a report by NME, Elba promises the lucky winner a romantic evening with cocktails, champagne and anything his or her heart desires. That's not all, but the winner of the raffle will also get to be flown out for the special date and then taken off to a four-star hotel. Doesn't sound so bad does it?

Elba's doing all this so that W.E. Can Lead can help Sierra Leone school girls "become a new generation of dynamic female leaders" – a great cause for a night out on the town with The Dark Tower's lead star. To participate in the raffle, all fans have to do is donate $10 to the cause, a small lump which gives fans a hundred entries to win.

More money of course means better chances at winning the date with Elba. A $25,0000 donation won't just give you 250,000 entries to the draw, but it'll give the generous donor two tickets to the premiere of The Dark Tower as well.

Whether or not you're interested in having a date with Elba, donating to the cause still sounds like a great way to help the young ladies at Sierra Leone learn to become dynamic leaders.

The Dark Tower premieres on the big screen on July 28 this year.
