If you're an
NCIS fan who's dreaming of appearing in the show one day, then this may be your chance to do just that. A non-profit organization based in Oregon is giving away a walk-on role in a future episode of the CBS crime series, in order to raise funds for Native American businesses.
The raffle was the brainchild of ONABEN—A Native American Business Network, a group which was founded in 1991 by four Oregon tribes who joined together to promote privately-owned Native American businesses. The group will sell 1,999 tickets—one for $5 or five for $20—for the raffle, which will be on August 20 in Portland, Oregon.

I think its a great ideal. Is there a phone number or address to buy the tickets.
The winner will get a chance to appear alongside
NCIS stars
Mark Harmon,
Michael Weatherly and
Sean Murray, among others. Aside from that, the winner, along with a guest, will receive a free vacation, complete with free airfare, hotel accommodations, transportation and meals. The winner will also have a chance to have lunch with the
NCIS crew, and receive special items from the show, including an autographed script.
The raffle is expected to raise around $10,000 to enable the organization to help Native Americans in Oregon and Washington to start a small business, or expand an existing one. The winner doesn't have to attend the drawing in Portland—just in case, it's on August 20 at the Lucky Lab on NW Quimby Street at 6pm—so that could mean you can join the raffle even if you're on the other end of the country. However, airfare to California is only offered from Portland International Airport.
And, if you won't be able to join the raffle you can always catch the new season of
NCIS. A brand new season of gripping plotlines involving the Naval Criminal Investigative Service Major Case Response Team starts September 23 on CBS.
