Here's Your Chance To Hang With Robert Downey Jr. And Help Atlanta Charities

Atlanta Children's Shelter chosen as one of several local beneficiaries of Robert Downey Jr's "Hang With Me" campaign.

ATLANTA, GA -- One look at Iron Man and it's pretty evident that not all superheroes wear capes, but what Iron Man, aka Robert Downey Jr., is doing for Atlanta charities is enough to save the day. The Atlanta Children's Shelter has been chosen as one of several local beneficiaries of Robert Downey Jr's "Hang With Me" campaign created by Random Act Funding.

Donors can win the opportunity to dine with Downey and -- get this -- hang out with the star on the set of "The Avengers" sequel, which is filming locally. Donors can also work with the actor to pick a charity to benefit from a Random Act Funding grant.

Chosen participants can also win the chance to stay in a 4-Star hotel. The sweepstakes are all part of the awesomeness of Random Act Funding, a philanthropic group founded by Susan and Robert Downey that pays it forward by financially supporting local, national and global organizations.
