Eddie Vedder<\/a> has accepted the All In Challenge<\/a> to raise money for COVID-19 relief efforts, offering a special Pearl Jam<\/a> concert \u201cbirthday package\u201d that includes opportunity to join the band on stage and more.<\/p>\n

Vedder was nominated for the challenge by actress Laura Dern, and in a video offered a detailed breakdown of what the prize package would include. The winner and a guest would get to attend the Pearl Jam show of their choice \u2014 it doesn\u2019t actually have to be on their birthday \u2014 and start the day at the band\u2019s soundcheck where they\u2019ll get to see how the setlist comes together, and even offer a bit of input on song choices to Vedder.<\/p>\n

During the show itself, Vedder said the winner would get to watch the first half from some seats up front and then the rest while standing side-stage alongside the band\u2019s crew. \u201cAnd as long as you\u2019re up there with the crew, I figure, heck, maybe you could bring out a guitar for me, we could put you to work a little bit,\u201d Vedder said. \u201cI mean, I will give you a few hits off my wine \u2014 or maybe we\u2019ll just get you your own bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the grand finale, Vedder said the winner will get to come out on stage and have the entire crowd sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to them; again, even if it\u2019s not their birthday. To top it all off, the winner will also receive a signed Telecaster guitar.<\/p>\n

The All In Challenge is raising money for organizations working to feed people and communities in need during the COVID-19 crisis, including Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry and America\u2019s Food Fund. Fans can enter by donating via the contest\u2019s website<\/a>. After accepting himself, Vedder passed along the challenge Chicago Cubs baseball executive Theo Epstein and master treehouse builder Pete Nelson.<\/p>\n
