Here’s what you need to know about the challenge, from the prizes and experiences you could win to how you can enter.

What is the All In Challenge?

The All In Challenge is an online fundraising tool whereby actors, athletes, singers and more offer up items or experiences in an auction or giveaway.

When you donate to the fund, you will be entered into a prize draw that could see you win experiences with your favourite celebrities, or even some of their prized possessions.

If you win your auction or draw, you’ll be notified by phone or by email after the competition window has closed.

Celebrities have been taking to social media to announce their involvement in the All In Challenge and what experiences or prizes are up for grabs.

Jennifer Aniston posted on her Instagram account that she and the rest of the Friends cast were getting involved in the challenge.

“We’re inviting you and five of YOUR friends to join the six of us on Stage 24. Be our personal guests in the audience for the taping of our @HBOMAX reunion, as we reminisce about the show and celebrate all the fun we had… and get the whole Friends VIP experience on the Warner Bros. Studio Tour,” she wrote.

Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer are all taking part.
