virtual world making a 'real' difference

I'm gearing up to host another benefit event in Mill Pond and I'm hoping it'll have an even bigger impact than the first.

I'll be running a virtual version of Penn State's "THON" during the same weekend as the 'real life' THON is taking place here in lovely University Park. I'm planning live musicians to play and donate their time, talents, and tips to the cause, and people will be able to stop by and donate, and purchase t-shirts as well. All the donations will be made in 'lindens' - the currency of Second Life and will then be cashed-out and donated to the THON organization.

Our breast cancer benefit raised over $600US dollars for breast cancer. I'm hoping we can do better than that 'for the kids'.

For anyone interested, it'll be happening February 16-18 at Mill Pond in Second Life. Stop by and help make a difference.
