Entries for night out with George Clooney raise $500K

New York: Applications for a night out with George Clooney have helped raise more than 540,000 dollars.

The proceeds from the entries have raised the huge amount which will go to the Satellite Sentinel Project, which monitors the Sudanese border and hot spots to detect and deter crimes against humanity. The winner and a friend will be flown to New York and be provided accommodation at a hotel by Omaze.com, along with a chance to hang out with Clooney backstage at `David Letterman` and a walk on the red carpet at his " Monuments Men " premiere, with Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett. The ` Gravity` star has worked to shine a light on the humanitarian crisis in Sudan and protested against president Omar al-Bashir. The entries cost 10 dollars and are open until January 30.
