FUNDRAISING! "KARAOKE" VIDEOS – EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
Team Australia, “Straya Mate” has been successfully organizing real life fundraisers via Steemit since last year!
Over the Christmas period we organized a fundraiser to help out a childrens hospital, and we delivered a donation of colouring pencils and Ipads.
Everything was done transparently with updates throughout the process, here are the links to the relevant post:
This year we have a few fundraisers planned which you can catch up on and read about on our Steemit wall 
As a part of our efforts this year we wish to get as many Steemians as possible involved, including all the new Dtubers and Dlivers here.
So I have put together this crazy and fun idea of a Fundraising Sing Along, pretty much a Steemian karaoke!
& the team liked it! So here it is ;)
How it works is as follows:
Everyone who wishes to help out with the fundraising efforts simply records a video of themself singing the song featured below.
I Still Call Australia Home
I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home
I'm always traveling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends
But someday we'll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
Then I realise something I've always known
I still call Australia home
(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home
(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
Oh I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

How shall the prizes be handed out?
Well, this isn’t a contest, it is meant to be a fun way to raise some funds for a worthy cause.
So rather than make it a “contest” we’ll be looking at all the participants who contribute to the fundraiser as equals and there won’t be any judges or juries, just a simple random number generator which shall decide who all gets a prize for participating and helping out in the Team Australia fundraising efforts.
Once it is all over, these wonderful Steemians; 
Here is a link to the song, so that you can hear it sung by the author himself Peter Allen:
So start getting your vocal cords into action, get creative, do your country and countrymen proud, make a video, post it and help out a worthy cause and HAVE FUN DOING IT!
Don’t hold back on the creativity, you can do it any way you like, feel free to impersonate a singer or just make a video clip with photos relevant to your country, whatever you decide!
What is important is that we all have fun and do some good via Steemit, Dtube and Dlive!
