Win Tickets To 'Star Trek' Opening In NYC Courtesy Of Star Movie FundraiserStar Trek Movie Fundraiser is giving you the oportunity to win 2 tickets to the NYC premiere of 'Star Trek'.  Here's how.

Make the largest donation by May 6th, 12pm ET, and you will win two tickets to the premiere screening of Star Trek in New York City’s AMC Lincoln Square theater. But don’t get discouraged if you can’t make a big donation. Additionally, one random winner will be selected to get two tickets for the same time and day (and theater)! Remember, this is for a good cause, so every donation counts.

AND if the largest donor gives more than $5000, I will instead give you my two IMAX tickets for the same time and day (and theater).

How this works:
Make a donation to Doctors Without Borders through the Star Trek Movie Fundraiser site. Then make a comment, Tweet it, Facebook it, Digg it, or share in any number of ways. Then send an email to me at MilindShah@startekfundraiser.org with your donation amount, contact info, and the ways in which you have shared the site with others. To be clear there are two ways to win, donate large or donate and be chosen randomly. Both winners receive two tickets for the May 7th 2009, 7 pm ET screening of Star Trek. For both winners, I will verify the donation amount with Doctors Without Borders and then contact you. The random winner will be selected by names in a hat. I will meet you both at the theater to hand you the tickets and thank you in person.

More about Star Trek Movie Fundraiser:

Can Star Trek fans, energized by the new movie premiering in just a month, combine their enthusiasm to benefit a cause? Consider this: the Star Trek movie will sell over a million seats opening weekend. If every one of those fans donates just $1, think of the goodwill that can be generated. But ask a fan to make a contribution in honor of Star Trek, ask them to consider what Star Trek means to them when they donate, and it becomes possible to revolutionize the way fans express their passion and make a difference that changes the lives of people around the planet. Star Trek fans are just the sort of fan-base to change everything.

The Star Trek Movie Fundraiser site was setup with just such intent in mind. It is a fan-based initiative hoping to channel the frenzy around the movie to benefit Doctors Without Borders. Every year Doctors Without Borders sends thousands of medical works to famine-, epidemic, and war-stricken parts of the world without consideration for ethnicity or nationality, spreading a message that resonates with the ideologies that so many Star Trek fans hold dear.

Turn your passion for Star Trek into a force that changes the planet. Contribute to Doctors Without Borders in the name of Star Trek and your love for films and sci-fi. Think of all that we can accomplish!
