TURN THE WORLD PURPLE FOR RELAY FOR LIFE!
To
raise awareness and get ready for the Kickoff Celebration of the 2017
Relay season, Relay For Life of Second Life invites you to turn the grid
purple starting March 4 through March 12! Why
purple? It’s the official color of Relay For Life because purple is the
universal color for cancer awareness and Relay For Life raises money
for research of all types of cancers. We invite you to join us for a
special purple celebration day Saturday, March 4 starting at 9am slt. Tell your friends and help us get the word out for Paint SL Purple week!
How can you participate? Turn
your Second Life purple! Wear purple clothes, purple hair, and even
purple skin. Turn your house purple, paint your grass purple! Do you own
a store? Paint your store purple. The goal is for people to take
notice!
Take the purple to the next level by forming a team and registering. Check out our website, relayforlifeofsecondlife.org/ for information on how you can register a team and join in Relay.
To help with your overall purpleness, we’ll be sending out a Paint SL Purple kit too! You can also get the kit after March 4 at this SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/
Our
purple reign on the grid started in 2009 and has been growing each
year. Tell us about all the purpleness you see on the Relay For Life of
Second Life’s Facebook page, http://facebook.com/rflofsl
or on Twitter, @RelayForLife_SL. Use the hashtags, #RelayForLifeSL and
#PaintSLpurple. You can even take purple out to the rest of the web by
painting your Facebook and Twitter pages purple too!
The
theme of the 2017 Relay For Life of Second Life season is “Passport To
Hope”. The Steering Committee is comprised of the 2017 Relay for Life
of Second Life Chair Nuala Maracas, and co chairs Grace Loudon and Leala
Spire.
