For just $10, you could score a private dinner with Modesto native and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner.

You need to enter a “sweepstakes” to be eligible. The deal comes complete with two nights of hotel accommodations and round-trip airfare to the Los Angeles event.

And it’s for a good cause.

The “Charitybuzz Hosts: A Good Evening with Jeremy Renner” dinner will be Sept. 20 and benefits the actor’s RennerVation Foundation, which strives to support children in foster care and at-risk youth in Nevada.

The dinner is through Prizeo.com and entrees are being accepted through Sept. 4.

The winner and a guest will be part of “a private, intimate dinner party and Q&A, and have the opportunity to take a photo with Jeremy,” according to the event link on Prizeo.com.

You don’t have to limit your donation to $10 — the link has options to give more to enter and support the foundation.

According to www.rennervationfoundation.org, his nonprofit “provides well-grounded and compassionate support to children in foster care and at-risk youth, offering them a safe haven and targeted programs to develop their skills, confidence, and opportunities.”

Renner now lives near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and the foundation focuses on children in that state.

“Working in collaboration with community partners, local businesses and other nonprofits, we aim to create a lasting impact, promoting the dignity and well-being of children in need within our community,” according to the foundation’s website.

Renner is a Beyer High School graduate best known for his film roles in “The Avengers” series, “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town,” as well as the star of the Paramount+ streaming series “Mayor of Kingstown.”

He was nominated for Academy Awards for his roles in “The Hurt Locker” (best actor) and “The Town” (best supporting actor).

Paramount+ has confirmed that there will be a Season four of “Mayor of Kingstown.”

Renner recently released his book, “My Next Breath,” which recounts his near-fatal snowplow accident on Jan. 1, 2023, and his long recovery.
