Veterans Isle Raises Over 115,000 Lindens at Bennefit

 

 

 On Sunday April 7, Veterans Isle had it's monthly fundraising concert. The event, which took place high above the sim, was to benefit the Homes For Our Troops charity. The benefit ran for four hours from 12 to 4PM SL time. It was organized in part by SL musician Frets Nirvana.

 

Today is the day of our monthly benefit for Homes For Our Troops folks ...come out for a great afternoon of music for a great cause. 

 

DJ Zack (Zack221 Filler) started things up at Noon SL time with his selection of tunes. At 1PM SL time, it was Nina Rose Setner's turn on stage. Frets himself started up his guitar at 2PM. Last but not least was Roxy Chronotis, who at 3PM started playing for the final hour. 

 

As the performers did their music, the audience danced away, donating Lindens to two house-shaped kiosks on either side of the stage, "Thanks for the kind donation for Homes For Our Troops, rest assured your donation will go directly to HFOT to help our severely injured veterans." There were also people matching larger donations, "Someone put 250 linden in that left kiosk and I will match it. ... Someone put 150 in right kiosk ...I will put in 350 in right kiosk."

At the end of the event, a total of 115,060 Linden dollars had been raised in both kiosks.
