About
Relay For Life of Second Life:
Relay For Life is the signature event of the
American Cancer Society and has been active, and continually growing in Second
Life for 10 years. 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. As of July 2014 RFL of SL ranks number 17th out of
5000 teams worldwide in donations received. We have brought in over 2 million
US dollars to help with the fight against cancer. This year our Relay weekend
will be held on July 17th and 18th.
About
the American Cancer Society:
The
American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of nearly three million
volunteers saving lives and fighting for every birthday threatened by every
cancer in every community. As the largest voluntary health organization, the
Society's efforts have contributed to a 22 percent decline in cancer death
rates in the US during the past two decades, and a 50 percent drop in smoking
rates. Thanks in part to our progress nearly 14.5 million Americans who have
had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will celebrate more birthdays
this year. We're determined to finish the fight against cancer. As the
nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research,
we’re finding cures and ensuring people facing cancer have the help they need
and continuing the fight for access to quality health care, lifesaving
screenings, clean air, and more. For more information, to get help, or to join
the fight, visit cancer.org or call us anytime, day or night,
