An Academy-Award winning actor, a game show host, a male model and a Disney star are just a few of the stars who will get behind the wheel compete in this year’s Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race.

Adrien Brody, Alex Trebek, Tyson Beckford and Raven-Symoné will drive Scion tCs in a 10-lap race for charity, as part of the 35th Annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, on April 18. Other participants include Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, Luke Wilson, Keanu Reeves, Tim Daly, Eric Close, 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub, comedian Carlos Mencia and E!’s Ken Baker.

People will sponsor the 12th annual “People Pole Award,” which honors the pole-position winner of the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race qualifying session. A $15,000 donation will be made to the winner’s charity of choice.
