RFL Team Sunbeamers Reach 500,000L, Jade Level

 

On Saturday evening, March 19, the Relay for Life's Team Sunbeamers reached a milestone. It crossed the 500,000 Linden dollar mark, and into Jade level among the teams. 

[2022/03/19 18:08] Bixyl Shuftan: Sunbeamer total, 500,000 L
[2022/03/19 18:08] Lady ƙRen 'Jinx' Flow (Ren Float): yay!
[2022/03/19 18:08] Rita Mariner: Good News Sunbeamers just made JADE!
[2022/03/19 18:08] Alison Flow: woot beamers!!
[2022/03/19 18:08] Sienna (Sienna Thor): Yayyy Sunbeamers!!!
[2022/03/19 18:09] Nance Clowes: edge goes to whichever team can dance like oompa loompas
[2022/03/19 18:09] Arizona Ballinger-Whiplash (Arizona Ballinger): woot Sunbeamers
[2022/03/19 18:09] Lady ƙRen 'Jinx' Flow (Ren Float): LOL

I'd earlier spoken when reached Jade, I'd change into a green avatar. I'd done a green fennec for St. Patricks. But maybe something different this time.

[2022/03/19 18:09] Bixyl Shuftan: Okay, Green Bilby for the rest of the night
[2022/03/19 18:09] Bixyl Shuftan: Snowy calls it "Bix Bilby"
[2022/03/19 18:09] Trader Whiplash-Ballinger (Trader1 Whiplash): WTG Beamers!
[2022/03/19 18:10] Bixyl Shuftan: (guess which actor that's a tribute to?)
[2022/03/19 18:10] Trader Whiplash-Ballinger (Trader1 Whiplash) shakes his head
[2022/03/19 18:11] Bixyl Shuftan: "Bix Bilby" is a play on Bill Bixby. He was Dr. Bruce Banner
[2022/03/19 18:11] Kitty Gumbo (Prettykitty Gumbo): Hulk 

I would post a link to the picture above to RFL volunteer chat.

[2022/03/19 18:30] Sienna (Sienna Thor): Lookin' good Bix!!!
[2022/03/19 18:31] Bixyl Shuftan: Thank you :)

So that was the night my Relay team hit half a million. Next stop, Sapphire. Can we get to Emerald, when I have to own up to another promise when we cross a million Linden dollars? We'll find out soon.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

RFL Team Sunbeamers Reaches Jade Level

On May 23, Relay for Life's Team Sunbeamers finally achieved a goal it never had before in it's history. The team had reached Jade level fundraising, which takes 375,000 Lindens (or $1,500 USD). Team captain Rita Mariner announced the news.

Beamers:  I would have never believe it, but we are JADE!  Good going team!  Bixyl goes GREEN!  Go Relay!  Go Sunbeamers!

I had earlier stated if the Sunnies made Jade level, I'd go green for a week. So yours truly had to own up, and on top of the earlier "Bid Me Pantsless." At the suggestion of Skylark Lefavre, I went with a green anthro bilby avatar. Why a bilby? Skylark thought it was a playful pun at the actor who played Bruce Banner on "The Incredible Hulk" TV show, calling my new look "Bix Bilby" after actor Bill Bixby.

The previous level, Platinum, was reached by the Sunbeamers on April 18.  Next level is Sapphire, which is 500.000 Lindens (or $2000 USD). We already have one avatar challenge by Nydia Tungsten who says she'll go purple for a week if this level is reached. There's still several weeks until the Relay Weekend, and a few events ahead for us such as the upcoming air show. So we stand a good chance of reaching this new goal.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!
