Press Release: 2016 Relay For Life of InWorldz - Oct 15th 8am-8pm IWT

2016 Relay For Life of InWorldz Come to an End But The Fight Still Goes On
This Saturday, November 15th at 8am IWT***
and for the following 12 hours, we are inviting you to join us in celebration, with our 5th Relay season of Relay For Life of InWorldz.

This year we are delirious to announce, as of this past Sunday, you have helped our volunteers pass the Iz$ 4.5 Million Izzie mark, for this season! On behalf of all of us at RFL of IW, a warm thank YOU.

We are so proud of the hard work of so many people who gave their support to Relay For Life this season, from offers of time and talent for Relay. It is truly is a beautiful thing.

As we wave our teams flag in fun, in the end, we are one big team and it all goes to the same place. Big teams, little teams, individuals, big donations, small ones, even a single izzie, all adds up to something so much bigger than the sum of its parts. When we work together, we can accomplish anything.

Many parts of Relay is filled with symbolism, one of which is why we walk through the night. It symbolizes the journey of a survivor, from daylight of health, through the darkness of cancer and it's treatments, into the dawn of a new day of remission.

Come walk the day with us in celebration of LIFE.

** We Celebrate Life, But We Fight For The Cure **

A Busy Weekend

It was quite a weekend in Second Life, as well as the InWorldz grid. Saturday was the start of the yearly Burn2 festival. But that wasn't all that was going on. Luskwood, Second Life's oldest active community, would hold it's twelfth anniversary celebrations. The "Making Strides" breast cancer fundraiser would hold some events. The InWorldz grid would hold it's Relay for Life Weekend, raising much money for the American Cancer Society.

There will be more about these events later. But for now, it is time for rest and real-life work. We'll get to these events, and more, as soon as we can.

Press Release: Roleplay for Life

The Roleplay for Life team consists of multiple roleplay sim communities representing many genres.  Roleplayers as a whole are very "COMMUNITY" focused and are a natural fit for raising money for this worthy cause.

In 2014, I decided we needed our own team for Relay For Life to focus our charitable efforts in virtual worlds where we all spend a lot of time.  We all joined to form the Roleplay for Life group for many of the typical reasons groups join Relay for Life: it's a great, noble cause; because we know someone who has been affected by cancer; and to affect positive change in our community.

We also hoped to use our unique connection with roleplayers, who often tend to be a "fringe category" of player, to raise mutual awareness between the various charities and the roleplaying community within InWorldz. We felt our involvement in Relay for Life benefits not only a wonderful cause, but also benefits those who may feel removed from the mainstream, but wish to become more involved in such events.

We raised over $285,000 Iz's during the 2014 RFL season to help raise money and awareness for cancer and its cure. Our goal in the 2015 season is to exceed that total through the hard work of our team members and the generosity of the InWorldz residents.

Relay For Life in InWorldz Passes One Million Izs Raised

About a week ago, it was announced that the Relay For Line in InWorldz had passed a milestone. It's fundraising totals for the 2014 season had passed the one million InWorldz dollars, or "Izzies," raised.

The "Relay for Life in InWorldz" webpage listed the following totals:

Team 1

General Account

Iz$362,427

Team 2

Fashion for Life

Iz$166,961

Team 3

Tiny Steps for a Cure

Iz$307,200

Team 4

Tri Group Team

Iz$30,811

Team 5

Roleplay for Life

Iz$187,693

Team 6

Tsuki Mura for Hope

Iz$76,539

Team 7

Dragons for Life

Iz$8,040

Total raised

Iz$1,139,671

"Izzies" are worth about half of what a Linden Dollar is worth. So while the total is smaller than the Relay for Life in Second Life, it's been growing. Last year the RFL in IW raised 325,000 InWorldz dollars (worth about 162,500 Lindens). The RFL in IW will go on to its own Relay Weekend on November 1.

This year, the Relay for Life in Second Life raised $415,422 US dollars for it's 2014 season.

Relay for Life in InWorldz Season Starts August 23

Just as the Relay for Life is winding down in Second Life, it's just starting in the virtual world of InWorldz.

We are so excited about this 3^rd season of Relay For Life of InWorldz with the theme of A Future Without Cancer and all the changes we has been working on. Let me take you on a quick walk through.

We will be kicking off the season on August 23^rd at the new home of Relay For Life of InWorldz on Muse Island at 9am IWT. If you have not seen Muse Island yet, I urge you to stop by and enjoy a beautiful sim. http://places.inworldz.com/Muse%20Island/74/87/22

This will be the third Relay season on the InWorldz Grid. Major events include the Fashion for Life from Sept 20 to 27, which already has several groups having joined, and the Jobs and Sevices Fair, where merchants and clubs can go look for help and musicians, builders, and others can show off their skills. The main event will be on November 1, which will go on from 9AM to 9PM InWorldz (and SL) time.

Last year the RFL in IW raised 325,000 InWorldz dollars (worth about 162,500 Lindens)

Relay for Life Holds Final Event of Season in InWorldz

Shortly after it's fundraising season in Second Life ended, the Relay for Life began one in the virtual world of InWorldz. Events to raise cash to combat cancer took place every week, and last Saturday was the largest and last one: the Relay for Life in InWorldz Weekend. Human and Tiny avatars ran around the track, had fun in rides, and danced at DJ performances.
