公益圣诞歌新版上线：每播放一次就为Las Vegas儿童癌症基金会捐款
经典公益圣诞歌《Do They Know It's Christmas?》的重新演绎版11月2日在各大音乐平台上线。据 GlobeNewswire 发布的官方消息，这版录音由《美国偶像》（American Idol）与《好声音》（The Voice）的决赛选手们与 Las Vegas 口技艺人 Terry Fator 联手演唱；歌曲每被播放一次，就会向 Cure 4 The Kids Foundation 捐出一小笔善款，惠及该基金会的患者援助基金（Patient Assistance Fund），帮助正在与癌症和罕见病抗争的儿童。
新版由该基金会数字营销与社交媒体总监 Mitchell Koulouris 担任创意总监，歌词经过改写，寄托对身处人生最艰难战斗的孩子们的希望。Koulouris 说：「这件事从第一个音符起就是爱的付出。我们的孩子面对的是大多数成年人都难以想象的战斗，而他们依然能在其中找到快乐。每一次播放这首歌，都是我们为他们挺身而出的又一种方式。」
参与演唱的包括《美国偶像》决赛选手 Mackenzie Sol、Drew Ryn、Maryjo Young、Amanda Barise 与 Samoan Silkk，《好声音》决赛选手 Sadie Dahl，前 Why Don't We 成员 Jonah Marais，以及 TikTok 创作者 PENG PENG。另有一版由 Terry Fator 主唱，他以木偶与模仿秀演绎 Freddie Mercury、Stevie Wonder、Justin Bieber、Paul McCartney、Bruce Springsteen、Elton John、Sammy Davis Jr. 等多位歌手的嗓音。两个版本都配有音乐视频，发布在 YouTube 与各社交平台。
Cure 4 The Kids Foundation 2007年在 Las Vegas 创立，是内华达州唯一的儿童癌症与罕见病专科门诊治疗中心，也是该地区唯一一家此类机构；该基金会称，其经费平均95美分中每一美元都直接用于患者照护，且从不因家庭无力支付而拒收患儿。
Reimagined 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' Released: Every Stream Donates to a Las Vegas Children's Cancer Foundation
A reimagined version of the holiday anthem "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was released on all major music platforms on November 2, according to an announcement distributed by GlobeNewswire. The recording features finalists from American Idol and The Voice alongside Las Vegas voice impressionist Terry Fator, and every stream generates a small donation to the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation, Nevada's only dedicated pediatric cancer and rare disease treatment center, in support of its Patient Assistance Fund for children battling cancer and rare diseases.
Created under the creative direction of Mitchell Koulouris, the foundation's digital marketing and social media director, the classic song carries new lyrics reflecting hope for children in the toughest battles of their young lives. "This has been a labor of love from the very first note," Koulouris said. "Our kids face battles most adults couldn't imagine, and they still find joy in the middle of it. Every stream of this song is one more way we can show up for them."
The vocalists include American Idol finalists Mackenzie Sol, Drew Ryn, Maryjo Young, Amanda Barise and Samoan Silkk, The Voice finalist Sadie Dahl, former Why Don't We member Jonah Marais and TikTok creator PENG PENG. A second version features Terry Fator performing with his puppets and voices for Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder, Justin Bieber, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Sammy Davis Jr. and others. A music video accompanies each version on YouTube and social media.
Founded in Las Vegas in 2007, the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation is a tax-exempt nonprofit accredited by The Joint Commission and a member of the Children's Oncology Group; it says an average of 95 cents of every dollar goes directly to patient care and that no child is turned away because of a family's inability to pay.
