Top Ten Relay Teams: March 13

 

 

 With the end of the Relay's Living Expo, five teams of the 152 registered are beyond the half million mark. Fifth is One More Light at over 793,000 Linden dollars and at Sapphire-level fundraising level. Fourth is The River of Life at over 1,054,000 Lindens and Emerald rank. Third is Seekers of Hope at over 1,357,000 Lindens and Ruby rank. The two Diamond-level teams are Camping for a Cure, who are at second place with over 1,882,000 Lindens, and TAP - The Adult Partnership is in first place with over 2,440,000 Linden dollars.

The remaining five of the top ten are all Platinum-ranked teams (between a quarter and a half million Linden dollars raised), Team OD at tenth, the Free Spirit Hippie Brigade at ninth, team Sunbeamers at eighth, Playdolls at seventh, and team ACTS has risen to sixth place.

Of other noted teams, the Cure Chasers and Steelhead Salmons have made it to Platinum and should continue to rise. The Relay Rockers are currently Gold-ranked and are practically certain to make and surpass Platinum as donations come in from "Bid Me Bald" events and the Relaystock. The Giant Snail Races, Roos With A Dream, the Second Life Cheerleading Squad, and Harmony of Hope are also Gold. Purple Tears, Bonanza Country, Meli's Maniacs, Burners Without Borders, and Relay for Christ are currently Silver. The Gorean team and the Second Life Coast Guard are currently Bronze.

 

As fundraising events continue to bring in donations, teams will continue to rise, and no doubt some new teams will make a strong showing among longtime champions.

 

Go Relay!

RFL Team Totals: TAP Makes Diamond

 

Less than ten days after the start of the Relay for Life in Second Life's fundraising season, already there's a Diamond-ranked team, one that's raised 1,750,000 Linden dollars, or $7000 USD. This would be TAP - The Adult Partnership, which has gotten over 1,770,000 as of yesterday.

There's one Sapphire-ranked team, Seekers of Hope, at over 904,000 Lindens. Third is Camping for a Cure, who is Jade-ranked at over 591,000 Lindens. Rounding out the top five are two Platinum-ranked teams, One More Light at over 463,000 Lindens and the Sunbeamers at almost 388,000 Linden dollars. 

Checking the team totals, there is one difference between this year and some previous years. Every single team has raised some cash, the lowest having gotten 100 L. But with the combined efforts of 122 teams, well, that's a lot of Lindens.
