The Cruise-a-thon to beat all cruise-a-thons
25 August 2025
This last weekend, The Downunder Cruisers kicked off a 24 hour live streaming collection of YouTube Creators to raise funds for Helping Hands 4 Cruising.
Helping Hands 4 Cruising is charity with roots in Australia and is registered as a 501 (c) 3 organisation in the U.S.A..
The idea of the Cruise-a-thon is for a YouTube channel to run a 1 hour livestream during which funds are raised for the charity.
As I said, we kicked off the event on Saturday midday in Aus, which equated to 10pm est. Friday night U.S. time.
We were able to contribute $100 usd to the tally and the Grand Total at the end was a little over $5000.
A great effort by all if you ask me.
We were entertained by all sorts of characters, from alter egos like Nola and Ricky Rocker to amazing efforts by organisations like Carnival Cruise Addicts.
Here is a list of the creators who were involved in the cruise-a-thon.
