You never know what taking a chance might get you!
Lyft riders around the nation are doing good by simply rounding up their fares to the nearest dollar and donating the difference to a charitable cause of their choice. But little did they know they were actually being given the chance to meet Chance!
During the ride-share service’s latest episode of Undercover Lyft, Chance the Rapper switches careers for the day, disguising himself as a Lyft driver in Chicago to surprise fans at the end of their rides and start a discussion about how easy it is to give back to Chicago Public Schools by donating to his youth empowerment charity, SocialWorks’ New Chance Fund, through Lyft’s Round Up & Donate program.

“Together, Lyft and I have been giving back with Round Up & Donate for SocialWorks’ New Chance Fund,” says the rapper, 25. “Now, we’re having some fun in my hometown, Chicago, as I go undercover as a Lyft driver. I hope this video encourages even more folks to give back just by taking a Lyft.”

We had a blast surprising fans with Chance as their driver while showing them how easy it is to donate to causes they care about.”
