Autism Australia Event Raises Over 130,000 Linden Dollars

 

At one minute after Midnight SL time on Saturday December 13, a 24 hour fundraiser named Autism Australia took place. It was held at Club Evolution in Hartford. A number of DJs would take part. The event was to raise funds for "Shine for Autism."Simone Wagstaff, the club's owner, and Missy (Misfit72 Resident) helped run the event. I would drop by at the tail end of DJ RocknRoll's event, and they were whooping it up. 

Missy would call out on occassion:

 

💙 AUTISM AWARENESS CHARITY EVENT 

 ═══════════════════════════════
🎗️ EVOLUTION is raising funds for AUTISM! 🎗️
Already L$130,000+ donated! 💕
Every donation counts - big or small!
Help us make a difference! ✨
Donations can be made directly at
https://www.initforautism.org.au/event/shine-for-autism/home 

 

 She would comment, "I started just before midnight. I must say we.. Anna and I ..." DJ Grizzly, who was next on stage, responded, "It's tough being indispensable." Missy grinned, "Heh, I am sure I am indispensable. ... This will be my last set (smile) after this I really need to go and pay my bed a visit." Grizzly was just starting to head to the stage, "Awww...  Well, glad your sticking around for my set.  And thanks for toughing it out!" "All for charity," Missy commented. Grizzly would start his set with "Rough Girl," while someone else, Jessica (VicBitter Resident) encouraged, "Missy get to bed!" 

Grizzly would encourage people to donate to the posters, which were accepting cash like kiosks. Jessica would say, " just want to say right here...thank you to Simone and Jack for putting all of this together. To all of our awesome DJ's and host volunteers on behalf of Evolution Australia thank you all." People were also encouraged to enter a couple raffles in which a car and a place were the prizes. 

Mira Dust would thank the Newser for helping to publicize the fundraiser. 

 

Yours truly was only able to stay at the event for a short while, and due to real life couldn't be at the end. But over 130,000 Linden dollars had been raised by the time I was there. Dropping by later, I couldn't find the total amount. 

 

There will be a second Autism Australia fundraiser just after Midnight early Saturday morning December 20.

 

Addition: The Newser has been informed that the event raised over 170,000 Linden dollars.

Some More SL20B Exhibits

 

There's a lot to see at the Second Life Twentieth Birthday, and not a lot more time to write about it before it closes. So here's a few more to see while they're still up. Some are educational. Some are funny. Others a little thought-provoking. But they are worth seeing.

Autism Spectrum Meeting

A few weeks ago, I dropped by an Autism Spectrum group meeting in the Dreams East sim. They talked about things from their doctors, "The best doctor I think I ever had took me off ALL my medicines so he could evaluate me," to how potential employers seem to regard them, to comments about the Coronavirus crisis, and more.

The meetings take place on Wednesdays at 5 PM
