"This moment will be your peak, and you’ll peak all over everybody. Make it work."
The world's most horrible group of friends — Dennis, Sweet Dee, Charlie, Mac and Frank — of FX sitcom It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, are keen to do the only bit of good they've probably ever done in their entire lives.
By donating money to Team Rubicon Global, an American NGO that aims to get military veterans working as first responders in natural disaster zones to provide emergency disaster relief, you can win a slew of amazing It's Always Sunny-related prizes and get entered into a draw to feature on an episode of the cult show and meet the "ass-kickers" behind Paddy's Pub.
Hosted on crowdfunding website Omaze, Glenn Howerton (who plays Dennis Reynolds and is an executive producer on the show), writes, "Calling all ass-kickers! We’re bringing you to set, and putting you in an episode of It’s Always Sunny. When you get here, Mac, Charlie, Sweet Dee and I will put you to work. We’ll teach you everything we know about being in the biz, and then I’ll make fun of you for failing miserably when you listen to Dee’s advice.
"After, we’ll hang at Paddy’s, you’ll become an instant star, and I’ll even let you take pictures with me. This moment will be your peak, and you’ll peak all over everybody. Make it work.

"PS. Now that you’re a struggling actor, your flight to Hollywood and 4-star hotel are on me. You’re welcome."
If you win the grand prize, you get flown to Los Angeles with a mate and get put up in a four-star hotel, and get your mug filmed on set.
You can do your bit by donating from as little as $10 and $25, which gets you a digital thank you card from the cast, to $250 which scores you a limited edition campaign t-shirt signed by Howerton, to $1,000 which gets the cast members to record your voicemail, to $25,000 to get you on set and kick it with the gang as they get up to their usual misguided mischief.
If you choose one of the donation packs, you'll automatically be entered into the draw to win the walk-on episode appearance, but you can also enter without contributing here.
As always, the fine print seems to single out Aussies by stating "Residents of Australia, Brazil, China and the Republic of Korea are not prohibited from participating, but local rules and laws may restrict or prohibit the award of certain prizes or impose additional restrictions on participation." We're not sure which prize they mean — but if you manage to win the chance to appear on an It's Always Sunny episode, by god we hope you can claim it.
