Rebel With a Cause

Okay so I'm not really that much of a rebel but the title sounded good! If you've yet to hear of Relay For Life you need to. It's a team based event that supports the American Cancer Society and Jade Lily heads up the Second Life Relay For Life, which is about as close to the real thing as we can get. It's an enormous task and there are many people helping to make this happen, this year the event will span twelve sims and will be held on July 22 & 23.

There are many ways to be involved and one of those is to have a team which consists of up to six people. The team's goal is basically to raise as much money as possible for SLRFL. We're all in it for the same cause but we've got a little friendly competition to push us as well, it's fun! I'm a team captain this year and my team is called "Pixels in Pink". My team members are Elikapeka Tiramisu, Zyrra Falcone, HoseQueen McLean, Starley Thereian, and Garbage Prototype. I was lucky enough that these lovely people wanted to be part of this team and I'm very excited to work with them. The reason we chose the name Pixels in Pink is because our focus will not only be the American Cancer Society but the fight against Breast Cancer. If you see me in world you'll more than likely find a pink ribbon or bracelet (available soon) on my avatar.

Our team has some great things in the works to raise funds and we believe folks will enjoy it. We're going to have special products in our stores very soon where all proceeds will go to SLRFL. You will already find donation kiosks and information signs located at our businesses and various places in world. The other teams will have donation kiosks out as well so be sure to look for these when you're out spending a little L$, every gift counts!

I'm really looking forward to a major event we're planning for early July. It's going to be a big job to pull it off but I have every confidence in our team. I don't have all the details yet but I can give out a few hints. Notice something that each person on my team has in common? If you guessed designing, you'd be right! Okay so that's not much of a hint but it should definitely give you some clue. I can also tell you that there will be some very cool items you'll have a chance of getting your hands on. All proceeds from our events will go to SLRFL and if that's not a good reason to attend an event on it's own, I dunno what is! The other teams will of course be holding events and fundraisers as well during this time.

I've added a very important link to the group on the left side of my blog. You can click on it to go directly to the Pixels in Pink team site and donate with a credit card. This is a great way for friends and family members to donate, especially if they're not involved in Second Life.

I'm also helping with the silent auction during the main SLRFL events in July. If you have a suggestion of someone that would be willing to create or donate something unique for the auction let me know. I've already confirmed with several creators and I think we're going to have a fantastic auction this year.

Thanks in advance to everyone who gives some of their time or money this year. Like it says on my sign in world, you're adding to an important gift, which is hope. <3<3
