Domhnall Gleeson gives back through Star Wars charity competition

Domhnall Gleeson is giving back by preparing to raise money for the St. Francis Hospice in Raheny, thanks to his part in the Star Wars film franchise.

Fifteen members of the cast and crew have chosen charities to include in the foundation called Star Wars: Force for Change through Omaze, and Domhnall picked the Dublin hospice as its close to his heart.

Disney and LucasFilms will raise money for the cast and crew selected charities by offering an incredible prize that devoted Star Wars fans could only dream of.

Force for Change: Domhnall is giving back through his role in Star Wars franchise

Two grand prize winners will get to attend both the US and UK premieres, as well as walk the red carpet, meet the cast of The Force Awakens, and attend the film’s after-party.

And they won’t be alone, they also get to bring along three friends each – for a chance to win fans are asked to donate a small $10 (€9) through Omaze to support Star Wars: Force for Change.

The charitable foundation was established last year by Disney and Lucasfilm to help find solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.

The amount you donate will match to how many entries you’ll have in the contest, and you won’t go home empty handed as different donation amounts entitle you to a special Star Wars gift.

If you donate $100 (€94) you’ll bag yourself a Star Wars: The Force Awakens t-shirt, and if you donate a whooping $10,000 (€9,400) you’ll receive a replica Kylo Ren helmet, there are plenty of gifts up for grabs.

The project raised €4 million last year and if it reaches that amount again, St Francis Hospice will be receiving a very generous donation, thanks to Domhnall.

The Gleeson family have close ties with the hospice as they have previously worked with them, when Domhnall and Brian starred in the video for charity single 2025 by Squarehead to raise funds for them.

“Everyone at St Francis Hospice is very excited. Brendan, Domhnall and Brian are all very good to us. They’ve done so much for the hospice,” a spokeswoman told the Herald.
