will feature over 20 Relay For Life of Second Life teams, who have joined
together to provide three days of cancer fundraising in 4 space themed areas!
Activities include live djs, performers, a space carnival, 7seas Fishing,
Bumper Boats, and paintball!
Vending areas are also set up, with many
items up for sale, raffle, and auction! 100% proceeds at Springfest will go to

Society!

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, at 1-800-227-2345.
