On Sunday September 8, Veterans Isle would hold the first of it's fundraiser concerts for September. The event, to raise money for Homes For Our Troops, would start at 4PM and go on to around 8 in the evening. The concert took place at the U.S. Veterans Military center special events area.
We are kicking off our month's long celebration of our 10 year anniversary of supporting Homes for our Troops in Second life tonight. And once again we have a great lineup for your listening and dancing pleasure. Come on out and help us celebrate this great occasion ...and help those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom!
Things started off at 4PM with DJ Zack. At 5PM, singer Camme Carver took to the stage. At 6PM, it was Agatha Nowles' turn. Last but not least was Holly Giles at 7PM. As the performers played to the crowd, they donated money to two house-shaped kiosks on either side of the stage.
Frets Nirvana, who helped organize the event, would remind the audience what the money was for, "Since inception as of 7/1/24 HFOT has built 393 homes nd donated them and currently have approx. 80 projects in the pipeline with a target of getting to 400 homes donated this year." He would also remind people of a raffle being held,: Folks ...we are also having a raffle for a fully furnished home from Chalupa Digs Designs .....250 ticket may get you a completely furnished 10k home ...raffle board is over to the left." There were also challenges for people to donate more, "12540 now ...when we hit 15k ...I will put in another 2500."
At the end of the event, there was a total of 68,257 Linden dollars raised.
There will be three more fundraiser concerts in Veterans Isle this month, all on Sundays, September 15, 22, and 29 (
schedule).
