THANK YOU FROM RANDOM


Our 2012 Relay season is now history.  



Once again our team excelled in our events and donations we brought in. We did not meet our goal of 1 million lindens however we shattered our goal with online donations this year!  Our total we raised is at 775,000. lindens! Our online donations totaled $875.00 or 218,750 lindens!  Amazing! 

Relay for Life of Second Life generated $346,334!   All from nickels and dimes.

I was so proud this year at the participation level of our team.  Several of you took upon yourself to hold events all over the grid.  From our jail and bail to the little car races your participation made our events stand out among the relaying community.  What fun we had!

Red Laurent and Beau Buccaneer held some great events at their club.  They also brought some new teammates for us!  Jenny Snakeankle Dj'd at several clubs on behalf of her mother.  Fiz Underwood, Mikael Foxtrot, Portia Lytton, Arioch Snowpaw, Tee Auster, Dianna Wycliffe all gave of their time to DJ or Host at all team events.  

Our challenges at *The Club* were awesome this year. Thank you to the Club Staff and team members who were willing to look stupid for a great cause. Thank you to all of you who took part in planning, building and hosting of our events!  That is exactly what makes our team great!

Our actual Relay was amazing this year. I could not of pictured a better campsite than Times Square!  Thank you Dani for the great idea and TS for coming up with the sign idea to honor those we have lost. Thank you to Tee for the cancer time line research.  Thank you to Arioch for your scripting abilities!! We couldn't of done it without you.Thank you to To Portia for putting together the hunt. Last but not least a special thank you to Julia Zhangsun! The time you put into each storefront and signs was appreciated. We are so happy you joined our team! 

Our campsite came in 2nd place for Best Themed campsite and 1st place in Cancer Education. WOOT   It was a memorable weekend for sure!!!

I want to thank our team’s co captains. Dianna Wycliffe and TS Darrow for being awesome, being at every event and for putting up with me.  To Tee for your talent in taking on the Harmony of Hope web sight.

Finally, I'd like to close with Fiz Underwood’s story.  For the last few years Fiz would support Relay with a donation but did not really take part in our team events.  Last year at Relay he heard, saw and felt the power of Relay.  At the beginning of his year his words were " I FINALLY GET IT." Take one minute to sit back and smile. You GET IT!

Because of you we are closer to a cure for cancer!  Because of you we will see a cure in our lifetime!  Those you relay for are smiling because of you! 

Thank you for all you did!
UNTIL THERE IS A CURE ~ WE RELAY
