In the week that the Fantasy Faire 2009 was open, more than 2 million Lindens (over $7000 USD) were raised on behalf of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. The organizers of the Fantasy Faire wish to thank everyone who visited and donated to RFL, all of the merchants who donated to reserve their spaces and made every effort possible to support and promote the Faire, the RFL of SL committee members whose guidance has always made the difference between success and failure, the dozens of performers who graced our audiences with the gift of music and magic, and the extraordinary army of people who built, blogged, begged, borrowed and bled to take a beautiful idea and transform it into an even more beautiful reality.
For those who think SL is just a game, we wish you had been there to see just how much in error such a perception is. SL is a living work of art. The generosity of the people who work, create and (yes!) play there is not simulated. Lives will be saved because of the gift of their time, talent and money.
The Fantasy Faire 2009 has closed. But the need to Relay goes on. UNTIL THERE IS A CURE WE RELAY. Please continue to watch this blog for more information about how you can save lives.
And if you or a loved one is battling cancer, find out about how the American Cancer Society is there to help all over the world. Help and Hope are available online at cancer.org.
THANK YOU
