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.
