On Prizeo.com, under the banner “Win a Wolf Sanctuary Tour and Helicopter Ride with George R.R. Martin,” the author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series (also known as Game of Thrones) writes:
If you make a small donation to my campaign, you will automatically be entered to win an incredible experience. You and a friend will be flown out (from wherever you are in the world) to meet me in Santa Fé, where we’ll share a helicopter ride to the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary.
In addition to touring the Sanctuary together, we’ll also have plenty of time to discuss the show, A Song of Ice and Fire, direwolves - and if there’s anything you have ever wanted to ask me, here’s your chance!
Small to mid-sized donations earn gifts such as T-shirts, posters, and signed books, but prizes for some of the very largest donors include signed shooting scripts, tickets to the Season 5 premiere, Martin’s own hat, and the opportunity to appear as a character (and be killed in) the novel.
For full details, and to donate, see this page. At press time (with 59 days yet to go), $188,925 of the $200,000 goal has already been pledged.
