It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the indefinite
postponement of the SciFi Expo due to unforeseen circumstances that are
beyond our control that are affecting members of our team. We are
extremely thankful for the incredible support we have received since
opening in 2017, allowing us to raise a remarkable total of US$24,620.86
for the American Cancer Society through both their Relay For Life and
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising campaigns. This
phenomenal contribution has enabled the American Cancer Society to
provide invaluable resources for cancer research, treatments, and
support programs, improving the quality of life for those affected by
the disease.The success of the SciFi Expo was only possible
through the hard work and dedication of our team and with the support of
our amazing community. We thank all of you who attended and supported
the event, and apologize for any disappointment this announcement may
have caused.
We strongly urge everyone to participate in the
various other events the American Cancer Society of Second Life hosts
throughout the year (see the links listed below). These events are great
opportunities to show your support, have fun, and contribute to an
important cause. Your participation and donations to these events can
make a tremendous difference in the fight against cancer.
We
understand the difficulty of the current situation and we thank you for
your understanding and support. We hope to be able to celebrate this
wonderful event with our community once again in the future. In the
meantime, we wish you safety and health and remind you that we are all
in this fight together, for a world without cancer.
The Sci-fi Expo took place every fall, alongside Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. It typically had music and dance events, discussions about science fiction, booths for various sci-fi groups such as roleplaying ones, plenty of shops, numerous exhibits, in it's last couple years a quest, and more. The Newser took a closer look at the
one in 2021.
As far as the Newser is aware, this announcement does not affect the schedule of the
SL Fandom Con in May this year.
*Correction* Earlier the title was "Sci-Fi Con," which has been corrected (hasn't been the first time we mixed up the two names.
Well done and thank you, Sci-Fi Expo.
