!!!WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

^{This is a #hayrunners post. All liquid post rewards for this post will be donated to the @teamaustralia #hayrunners fundraising drive.}

We're about 2 weeks into our #hayrunners fundraising appeal here on the STEEM blockchain, and almost half way to sponsoring our first truck in the next Burrumbuttock Hey Runners run, deep into drought affected areas of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia. Support so far has been great, but we need even more community involvement if we are to reach our goal of 2000 STEEM (approx. $2500 AUD) with STEEM at its current price of about $1 USD. That is what is will cost to sponsor fuel for a truck load of donated hay to reach an area in need of drought relief assistance.

The next run takes place in January 2019, and our target is one truck. But why stop there! Let's see how well the community can get behind this project, and help us do somehthing good in the real world. We need your help to do this, and get as many trucks sponsored as possible, with a big STEEM banner draped across each of them to demonstrate the power of the STEEM community in action. Together we can do this!

So, how can you get involved: It's really easy. Here are some ideas...

#HAYRUNNERS RAFFLE

@jk6276 is running a raffle for 0.2 STEEM per ticket, with some nice prizes to be won. Check it out here, and grab yourselves a couple of tickets.
Here are the prizes for @jk6276's raffle:

Prizes

• 5 Shares sponsored in @steembasicincome. - Sponsorship provided by me.
• 7 days of upvotes by @quochuy and @gohba.handcrafts. 1 posts a day for 7 days upvoted at 100% from each of these fabulous supporters.
• 7 days of upvotes from @freewritehouse. Thanks to @mariannewest, @freewritehouse will upvote 2 posts per day for 7 days at 100%

It would be great to get a few more sponsors on board to donate prizes, or even run a few raffles over the next few weeks to help with the fundraising efforts.

Every little bit of support adds up, and no contribution is too small. A small upvote, direct donation to @teamaustralia, or a resteem helps to get us to where we need to be.
