InWorldz RFL first season 2012 raised 64,000$Iz so far
The first ever season of InWorldz Relay For Life for 2012 has raised 64,000$Iz so far which is a really good amount for the first year I think. This amount is the “general fund” of RFL of InWorldz and it’s estimated that the first ever Relay for Life season has raised around $1500 USD for the ACS. Team totals will be released soon and hopefully visitor numbers.
I loved going to the fundraising events during the first season of InWorldz RFL 2012. I’m sure in 2013 the InWorldz RFL money amounts will be higher and there will be more interest during the second season hopefully.
InBiz and Bilavio’s have kindly donated 50,000$Iz each to sponsor the RFL of InWorldz. The first season of RFL of InWorldz ends on Saturday 17th November with a wrap up party that will be massive to celebrate the success of the first year. After the wrap up party the RFL of InWorldz committee will start preparing for RFL of InWorldz 2013 the second season. I’m really excited about 2013 events.
Recap of events during the first season of Relay For Life of InWorldz 2012.
- Kick-off Ceremony: Saturday, 18 August
- Halfway There Event: Saturday, 22 September
- Relay For Life of InWorldz Event: Friday 2 November – Sunday 4 November
- Wrap-up Party: Saturday, 17 November
Recently I got in touch with Hairy Thor who is chair of InWorldz RFL 2012 and I got this kind response about how this year went.
Hairy Thor: RFL has been a great success for our first year in IW and is due to the participation of all the IW residents.
The InWorldz RFL weekend 2012 rasied more than 100k Iz$. There was around 30 avatars in the two sims provided for this year’s event. The InWorldz RFL Space Event 2012 was a success with a good attendance. I think 2013 will be another great year for InWorldz for RFL events and more good things happening. It’s going to be bigger and better in 2013!

InWorldz Relay for Life Weekend 2012
On Friday 2nd November through to Sunday 4th InWorldz will be having its first Relay For Life Weekend. I’m really looking forward to attending and experiencing a Relay For Life event on the grid of InWorldz. I have always enjoyed the big scale version of relay for life on the main grid of Second Life and each year just gets better.
Today I went along to watch Designing Worlds where the guests talked about the first Inworldz RFL event 2012. Check out my snapshot of my owl avatar behind the seats. The theme this year is Colour of Hope and raised money will go to the American Cancer Society. There will be 4 regions for RFL of InWorldz 2012 and its going to be interesting to see how it compares with the main RFL event in SL.
The Relay For Life of InWorldz closing party is set for Saturday 17th November 2012. Mark it on your calendars!

COMMUNITY TO UNITE TO FIGHT CANCER
American Cancer Society Relay For Life of InWorldz Kicks Off
InWorldz community members will unite at a rally to officially launch their First Relay
For Life season. Hundreds of participants will ring in the new season with a rally that
educates everyone on how their involvement benefits the American Cancer Society’s
goal to save lives and create more birthdays. Money raised will fight cancer by helping
people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.
Relay for Life Kicks Off its official drive on August 25th on Dreamscapes of Poseidon.
Come join us, as we meet the American Cancer Society representative. Come be inspired
by Dj KyFire Oakleaf’s library of originals created by Relayers, survivors, caregivers
and loved ones of those who fight, fought and will fight this courageous battle we all do.Come rally hard with us to begin a campaign we will not lose.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration
where individuals and teams camp out, picnic, dance, play games and take turns circling
around a track “relay” style to raise funds and fight cancer. The event opens as cancer
survivors lead the way around the track and are honored with the Survivor Lap.
As the sun begins to set, the warm glow of hundreds of luminaria light the field in an emotional silent ceremony. Each bag lit is in honor of a loved one who won the fight against cancer or in remembrance of a special someone who lost their battle.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life represents hope in that those lost to cancer
will not be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day,
cancer will be eliminated.Started in 1985, Relay For Life began with one man who circled around a track for 24
hours raising $27,000. This year, Relay For Life has grown to more than 6,100
communities and over 25 countries worldwide.August 25th, 2012, 12 pm, InWorldz Time

This year InWorldz will be hosting its first official Relay For Life season of events. Relay For Life is a charity event that will be raising money for the American Cancer Society.
