RFL “Bid Me Human” Event Nets 29,000 Lindens

That was, unexpected. I never expected the event to bring in so much.

The “Bid Me Human” event in Southern Colorado took in much more than I expected. Passionate Redheads team captain Sabine McGettigan thought 5,000. I thought 10,000. It netted 29,000!! The initial goal of five thousand Lindens was reached within twenty-four minutes. Sabine herself called it one of the biggest events for the Redheads this season.

The consequence, since I had stated I’d be in a human av a day longer for every thousand raised, the result was no "foxy" look for almost a month.

Well, most of the time. From the start, I had stated I’d be back to fox at the club I do some occasional hosting at, as well as the combat RP I’ve joined up with. I also explained I’d have to return to my usual appearance for any interviews, plus the special event happening this June 4th and 5th. So while there will be the occasional short break, I’ll be having this look for a while.

And why an ethnic human look? Well, griefers usually hate it as much as furball appearance. So why let the trolls have any fun. ;-)

Already having to go through a few shaved jokes from my furred friends. I’m sure the next few weeks will be interesting to say the least.

Relay For Life "Bid Me Human"

It was a couple years ago in which Daaneth Kivioq voulenteered for a "Bid Me Furry" event for the Passionate Redheads in which he offered to join the ranks of the furballs if people donated enough. 10,000 Lindens were raised, and he took on the look of a feline for a little while. Also about that time, another group did a "Bid Me Human" event in which a kitty offered to shed his fur coat and go human. Not as much was raised, though the girls at the event donated enough cash to make him furless.

With the Redheads needing a little more help after their recent troubles, I brought this up to some officers, and they liked the idea. Since it was my idea, well, guess it was only fair to volunteer.

Yep, that's right. "Fox News" is offering to be not so foxy for a little while.

The event will be at the Southern Colorado sim at (159, 36, 25) , Friday May 20th from 6 to 8 PM SL time.
