WalkingDeadHeader1In the latest video promoting Danai Gurira’s “The Walking Dead Fan Experience” fundraiser on CrowdRise, co-stars Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln show their support in the most affectionate way. Within moments of “The Walking Dead” stars cozying up on a loveseat, Reedus shows just how much he loves Danai’s charity. Gurira announces that her fans have an opportunity to win a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge phone with exclusive photos and a video of her and the cast by donating $15 at www.crowdrise.com/walkingdead. The Samsung phone contest runs August 18-30th.

The Samsung phone is an additional incentive for people donating to Gurira’s already prize filled CrowdRise campaign. Donors are also given the opportunity to win a trip to New York City to be Gurira’s guest at the Season 6 premiere of the show at Madison Square Garden along with a visit to Atlanta, GA, to tour some of the show’s famous past sites and have lunch with Gurira. “The Walking Dead” experience will continue with a weapons training session, zombie makeover, and a take-home “Go Bag” full of disaster survival gear.

All proceeds from the contest go to Almasi Arts Alliance which, as Lincoln remarks, is a “great charity” co-founded by Gurira to help African Artists. Their video, which includes kisses and some tongue, perfectly represents how individuals can use CrowdRise to creatively fundraise and have the most fun while doing it. To see the clip or to donate for a chance to win even more exclusive behind-the-scenes videos on a new Samsung phone, visit crowdrise.com/walkingdead.
