So I was approached by my good friend earlier this month, stpaulsub Clio (aka Clio), and she sent me a notecard about something she did years back called Clowning Around SL where she had many familiar faces of SL's residents wearing a clown nose. It was a big event and was quite successful with many volunteers. Well now this time she is starting a fundraiser with the same concept called Thumb Your Nose At Cancer. This fundraiser will be a part of Relay For Life (RFL) and so far the fundraiser is a great success. She has raised around L$47k within over a week. I am ecstatic to see the outcome of her fundraiser and to see the happy faces she will bring with her sense of humor with a great cause. I can honestly say that I am proud to be a part of this fundraiser and I will continue on supporting it.
As a Second Life resident we can really show the world what a virtual world can have affect to our real world. Not only does it unite everybody in the United States but everyone from around the world volunteers and acts as an United Earth. I have many friends from around the world now that I interact with and learn new languages and different cultures. But in the end we are all nearly the same in some kind of way. Millions of people from around the world have joined Second Life and the numbers keep on growing widely.
Anyways Relay For Life needs your help and contributing to Thumb Your Nose At Cancer will be your first step. Whether its L$100 or L$1,000,000 it all plays a big part of this fundraiser. All you have to do is simply Instant Message (IM) stpaulsub Clio in Second Life and she can set up an appointment for a photoshoot of your avatar with the unique clown nose she gives to each participant and donate to her kiosk. Each picture will be posted up showing all of the faces of each person whom participated in this fundraiser.
