Fans can donate to the project and enter for a chance to have their family run a lemonade stand with Reynolds and Jackman. All proceeds from the lemonade stand will go to first responders.

Reynolds nominated soccer star Ashley Lawrence and astronaut Chris Hadfield to also take part in the All In Challenge while Jackman nominated NFL star Drew Brees, Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann.

The All In Challenge has celebrities auctioning off experiences in order to provide food for children, the elderly and frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"So, I've agreed to trust that Ryan can hold his tongue for one day. A (very) temporary cease-fire for the @allinchallenge," Jackman said on Twitter alongside a video of himself and Reynolds announcing the project.
