As you walk the track you'll notice luminaria line the sides. These are your opportunities to pay tribute to a lost loved one.. or to thank a person who inspires and encourages you. Donating lindens to a luminary gives you the chance to mention a special someone in hover text over the bag and will light and change color based on the linden amount paid to it. Following is a list of the 2012 Luminary color and linden levels.
1 - 1000 - White
1001 - 2500 - Blue
2501 - 5000 - Green
5001 - 7500 - Pink
7501 - 10000 - Orange
10001 or more - Purple + fireworks
-------------THE RELAY TRACK----------
The themes are brought to the track to be fun and entertaining, not required, but it's always fun to see all the variety on the track. (Coming later) is a list of this year's themes and we hope you enjoy getting those outfits ready!
Around the track you'll see a constant amazing display of some of SL's greatest talent.. the Relay For Life Team campsites. They have all come together to each build their own display at the side of the track and welcome you to stop in and visit. They've worked hard all season and are thrilled to receive guests at their site.
Also alongside the track are fabulous builds constructed for our enjoyment by some of SL's top builders. It is with honor we thank the following builders for the generous donation of their talent and precious time for us all to enjoy. Also listed is the name of the region that you can view their contribution to this year's Relay For Life track.
