Billionaire raffling off spare seat on all-civilian SpaceX flight to raise money for St. Jude's Children's hospital

This charity effort is out-of-this-world.

Jared Isaacman, a tech entrepreneur who is also a pilot on the side, announced on Monday that he's bankrolling Elon Musk's SpaceX flight and using it to help raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research hospital. The 37-year-old billionaire, who's the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments, will be piloting and commanding the multi-day mission for himself and three others.

In addition to giving $100 million to the Tennessee-based medical facility, Isaacman said he's also donating two seats on the 4-person flight to St. Jude.

Until the end of February, anyone 18 or older can go to the hospital's website and enter for a chance to win a seat on the Inspiration 4 mission, which has tentatively been set for October. Donations are not required, though they are encouraged and those who do contribute will be up for special prizes and packages.
