Getting Ready For "Santa's Smile" Event

 

While the Christmas Expo is going on, the "Feed A Smile" charity is getting ready for another event: "Santa's Smile." It will be taking place on Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7

 

Over two festive days, 28 live performers will give concerts to raise funds for the Live and Learn in Kenya children from the slums of Nakuru — giving them a Christmas gift and a festive meal during the holidays.

 

The Santa’s Smile Event runs through the entire month of December, with live concerts all across the event sim and an art exhibition inside a replica of the original Santa’s Home at the Polar Circle near Rovaniemi, Lapland (Finland). It’s a full Winter Wonderland sim — beautiful, magical, and full of heart.

 

For those interested in joining up, there should be a few spaces remaining among the 24 spots for vendors. They are free, but 100% of the sales go to the charity. Contact Tom Sparkle if you're interested in getting one. 

 

"Huts and the event area will stay open until the first week of January 2026!" 

 

Feed A Smile supports  Live and Learn in Kenya NGO, which is currently helping "over 570 children receive education, food, and care." Besides food, schooling and medical care is also provided. 

 

For more information on the charity, contact Brique Topaz,  Maria Binder, Kip Yellowjacket.

Children are out playing among the animals or doing chores in the street. In the school construction area, workers are shown using bricks to build schools. Donated money for schools will go to books, uniforms and materials.

There are donation areas throughout the sim. It is encouraging to see that people from all over the world are interested in donated to LLK and the Feed a Smile project.

3D Republic and Harambee

Christmas is getting closer. And the search for winter and holiday-themed places in Second Life continues. Gemma Cleanslate found two more, 3D Republic and Harambee. 3D Republic is a place where vendors "come together to bring you a variety of items to choose from to celebrate your holiday season." Harambee is a place that helps raise funds for schools in Kenya. So what did Gemma find in the two places?

Any1's "Feed a Smile" Event, The "Pixel to Pixel" Fundraiser, And The Benefit Concert For Maxx Sabretooth

Quite a bit goes on in Second Life. And that includes benefit events. Although the Relay for Life is the biggest fundraising organization, there are many others, and sometimes it's just a handful of people. Yours truly dropped in on three recently, benefiting, "Feed a Smile," "Pixel to Pixel," and a gofundme for live singer Max Sabertooth's medical-related expenses.

Press Release: Madpea Hosting Feed-A-Smile Charity Auction

MadPea Productions is hosting a celebrity auction in support of Live and Learn in Kenya's Feed-a-Smile program. Held at Mad City Park on Sunday, February 23, from 8AM to 6PM SLT, we will have a professional emcee and live entertainment.

The goal of the Feed-a-Smile program is to raise funds to feed children in Kenya. There are 400 children in the program who are fed daily.  All 100% of donations are transferred directly to Kenya to care for the children, provide education, medicine, food, shelter, and foster care. Visit www.llk-selb.de for more information.

What we need from you is YOU! We would like to put you up on the auction block (or simply post your photo and bio card on an auction board) and let the crowd bid for the chance to win an hour with you (within a two week time of the auction). This hour can be spent giving a demo of your particular skill - for example, building or designing something, or a behind the scenes tour of your business - or a simple dance date where you share your time in conversation.

Our goal with this event is 1,200,000L, which will feed all 400 kids in the Feed-a-Smile program for a month. We know we can reach this goal with your help.

Please contact Honey Cesuvino or Picoole Bade and then return the attached notecard and a photo of yourself by Sunday, February 16.
