Relay For Life's "Last Push Party"

 

 

While the Relay Weekend is over, it wasn't quite the last event for the 2023 fundraising season. On Friday June 30, the "Last Push Party" was held at the American Cancer Society sim. Instead of for teams, the event was to give the Relay's season total one more boost. 

Its our Last Push Party at ACS Island on the patio of the Relay For Life Building!  We have some Amazing DJ's lined up as we make that last push!   You guys have simply been amazing and we hope to see you all there today starting at 12pm SLT! Oh and prepare to get wet!  LOL   Lets have some fun!

 

There were a number of DJs playing, such as DJ Vesper, DJ Dresi, and DJ Andree. I dropped in (via my alt Rezzdammit) to catch DJ Snowbuns playing her tunes. She would later tell me she had been asked by the "Roos With A Dream" team to take part. When a donation was made to the kiosk, one heard, "Thank you for creating hope! Donations to this kiosk are distributed to the American Cancer Society IRL, and used to fund life-saving cancer research grants and patient services that benefit the entire world, including residents of Second Life through Hope Haven on American Cancer Society island."

As people danced and listened to the music, there was much conversation such as jokes about bad TV shows and making people pink, or purple, for the Relay. There were also cheering comments about the Relay's mission, Snowy herself saying, "Lets keep opening cans of Whoopbutt on Cancer till it goes away!"

By the end of Snowy's set, a total of 117,000 Linden dollars had been raised.

 

At the end, Gem Sunkiller thanked all who took part, "Thank you to everyone who came to our season end celebration at the Relay Building.....You all are part of Relay For Life of Second Life...the record-breaking, award-winning, premier cancer-fighting community in Second Life....proclaim it proudly! You all are an awesome family of Relayers!"
