The Chicago native will tandem jump with the Golden Knights skydiving team onto North Avenue Beach on Aug. 15.
It is the 50th anniversary of the popular show on Chicago's lakefront.
Other celebrities with Chicago roots who are participating include actor Gary Sinise. He is scheduled to perform with his band Lt. Dan Band.
