Monopoly will officially debut three new Community Chest Cards with a charity event, featuring Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), Josh Gad (Frozen), Ellie Kemper (The Office), and Daymond John (Shark Tank).
Each celebrity will bring their A-game and their Boardwalk-buying skills in order to win money for the charity of their choice. They’re each guaranteed to take home $75,000 but they’ll be playing to win an additional $50,000.
The event will take place on May 20 on the Monopoly Facebook page at 8 p.m. EST. The celebrities will be the first to use three new fan-chosen cards. From March 18 to April 9, fans voted on the cards that most represented their community. Those cards are “You shopped local ALL week. Advance to go — Collect M200;” “Meow! You knit cozy sweaters for the hairless cats at your local animal shelter — Collect M20;” and “You organize a group to clean up your town’s walking path — Collect M50.”
Haddish will donate to the She Ready foundation, which empowers and supports kids in the foster care system. Gad’s charity of choice is the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, a non-profit institution that provides pediatric care. Kemper is playing on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, whose mission is to advance cures and prevention for pediatric diseases. John will donate his winnings to My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, an organization that helps build safe, supporting communities for boys of color.
An updated Monopoly game with the new Community Chest Cards will be available this fall.
