To mark [May the Fourth](http://time.com/4315398/may-the-fourth-star-wars-day/), which gives _Star Wars_ fans around the globe an opportunity to geek out, the actor, who plays Rey in [_Star Wars: The Force Awakens_](http://time.com/4150168/review-star-wars-the-force-awakens/?iid=sr-link1)_,_ has released a video encouraging fans to support [Force For Change](https://www.crowdrise.com/ForceForChange). Who can say no [to BB-8](http://time.com/4142740/star-wars-bb8-adventures/?iid=sr-link5)? Star Wars: Force for Change is a charitable initiative that was matching dollar-for-dollar donations up to $1 million. The campaign has far surpassed that threshold, but fans or anyone who wants to make a difference can still donate until midnight Pacific Time Wednesday evening. Funds go to support charities like the U.S. Fund for UNICEF in support of UNICEF Kid Power, American Red Cross, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This week also marks the last chance to win a trip to the real-life island where [Luke Skywalker](http://time.com/4242637/luke-skywalker-has-a-bigger-role-in-star-wars-episode-viii-says-daisy-ridley/?iid=sr-link1) was hiding out instead of fighting alongside Han and Leia against the First Order. Fans can win a trip to Skellig Michael, the real Irish island used in the film (no word on whether any Jedi training will be available).
