In 2005, the first Relay For Life of Second Life (RFL of SL) was attended by a few hundred avatars and raised almost $5,000 US dollars for the American Cancer Society. Five years later, in 2010 the Relay For Life of Second Life raised over $220,000. The 1 MILLIONTH US dollar was raised in 2011 when more than 2000 volunteers raised over $375,000. In 2012 we passed the 1.5 million dollar mark. In 2014, we passed the 2 million US dollar mark and we are approaching the 2.5 million dollar mark quickly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Relay Weekend is a fun-filled, overnight event that unites SL individuals throughout the world to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones and raise money for the fight against cancer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For more information about RFL in SL please visit the American Cancer Society Region anytime, day or night, all year long.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A host of activities are planned for Saturday and Sunday, a full list of which you can find out about on the page I linked to above.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s event will also see information points that have information about other Second Life related Relay For Life activities that took place during the year, including :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fashion For Life<\/li>\n<li>Fantasy Faire<\/li>\n<li>The Xmas Expo &amp; Breedables Fair<\/li>\n<li>The Home &amp; Garden Expo<\/li>\n<li>Sci Fi Convention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though this weekend is a big culmination of efforts, the Relay For Life fundraising efforts go on every minute of every day in Second Life.
