A virtual picnic at the Second Life Relay For Life to raise funds against cancer
A virtual picnic at the Second Life Relay for Life

The Second Life Relay For Life that’s held each year in association with the American Cancer Society is about to get under way again, with an event on February 17 that kicks off the fund-raising season. The relay itself isn’t until July 28, according to Jade Lily, who has been the force behind the event for three or four years now. That means you have more than five months to help beat last year’s total of more than US$40,000 (!) that was raised through Second Life events, auctions and sales. The relay event, which is always a good party, sounds like it will cover as many as 30 sims this time (again: !). Last year, I auctioned a profile in the Second Life Herald, which raised about $40 and was great fun. (Go read it.) I’m thinking about doing the same this year, or maybe trying to find something more interesting to do, either at the Herald or at 3pointD. Any ideas? For more information or to get involved, send an instant message to Fayandria Foley in Second Life.
