Paul Archuleta—Getty Images  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Aug 23, 2017 8:20 PM UTC A donation of just one dollar could be your ticket to a glitzy charity ball in New York City hosted by none other than [party icon Rihanna](http://time.com/4862468/rihanna-dess-valerian-red-carpet/) herself. This week, the chart-topping [pop star](http://time.com/4884160/rihanna-malawi-bikes/) kicked off the “[Dollar Campaign](https://dollar.claralionelfoundation.org/clf?mobile=0),” a fundraising effort to support her goal of improving access to education globally. The Dollar Campaign is [live now](https://dollar.claralionelfoundation.org/clf?mobile=0), and closes Sept. 5\. The winner will be announced on Sept. 7, giving him or her exactly one week to choose a _very_ lucky plus one, pack a bag and jet off to attend the Diamond Ball at Manhattan’s ritzy [Cipriani Wall Street ](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/lifestyle/7735563/rihanna-clara-lionel-foundation-diamond-ball-new-york)on Sept. 14\. (Roundtrip airfare to New York City and one night in a hotel are also included in the prize.) This is the third annual Diamond Ball, and it’s [set to be star-studded](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7905232/rihanna-calvin-harris-diamond-ball-performance): Dave Chappelle will host, and Kendrick Lamar and Calvin Harris are slated to perform. And, of course, Rihanna will be there. “I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say if you have a dollar there’s plenty to share,” Rihanna said during an acceptance speech for her humanitarian award [at Harvard](http://motto.time.com/4686996/rihanna-harvard-humanitarian-award-speech/) earlier this year. (The [“Wild Thoughts”](http://time.com/4820878/5-songs-you-need-to-listen-to-this-week-16/item/wild-thoughts-dj-khaled-feat-rihanna-and-bryson-tiller/) singer is an [ambassador](http://time.com/4809275/rihanna-malawi-global-citizen/) for the Global Partnership for Education for Global Citizen, recently announced a [bike program](http://time.com/4884160/rihanna-malawi-bikes/) to improve girls’ transport to school in Malawi and has used her platform to [urge global leaders](http://time.com/4832694/rihanna-education-trudeau/) to make education a priority.) According to the Clara Lionel Foundation [website](https://dollar.claralionelfoundation.org/clf?mobile=0), a one dollar donation could provide one brick to help build a school in Malawi. If you want more chances to win that spot at Rihanna’s party, of course, you can simply donate more; $20, the Foundation notes, could support a girl’s schooling for a month. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4912924/rihanna-diamond-ball/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4912924/rihanna-diamond-ball/"},"headline":"How to Get a Chance to Party in Style With Rihanna for a Dollar","datePublished":"2017-08-23T20:20:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:46:45.084Z","description":"By contributing to Rihanna's Dollar Campaign for education, fans could win a chance to attend the singer's glitzy Diamond Ball in New York.","url":"https://time.com/4912924/rihanna-diamond-ball/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Charity","Rihanna"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8ce3025617dc26e2/6988dadd656a3f4673bd1676/rihanna-diamond-ball.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8ce3025617dc26e2/6988dadd656a3f4673bd1676/rihanna-diamond-ball.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Rihanna And The Clara Lionel Foundation Host 2nd Annual Diamond Ball - Arrivals","caption":"Rihanna And The Clara Lionel Foundation Host 2nd Annual Diamond Ball - Arrivals","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4912924/rihanna-diamond-ball/","name":"How to Get a Chance to Party in Style With Rihanna for a Dollar"}}]}] ```
