It's glamour for good in this season's "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars,HAI Community" as the queens are set to compete for charity for the first time.

The newly announced Season 9 cast of eight "Drag Race" alumni will compete for $200,000, which will be donated to a charity of their choice, Paramount+ announced Tuesday.

"The time has come for drag queens to save the world," RuPaul said in a super-hero-themed cast reveal video on YouTube.

The prize will be provided by The Palette Fund, a private foundation "dedicated to breaking down barriers and advancing social change in communities that are under-resourced and facing significant challenges," according to a press release.
