Breast Cancer Awareness Ball

Second Life’s ASpiRE! Magazine will be hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness Ball on Sunday, October 28th, from 2:00 PM SLT to 4:00 PM SLT.

As someone who’s life has been affected by the tragedy that is cancer (I do not have it personally, but have lost a close family member from it), I am actually really looking forward to this. It always makes me so happy when Second Life residents make an attempt at raising awareness to real life issues. I mean, of course there’s Relay for Life headed up by the American Cancer Society, and I fully support that, and everyone knows what RFL is. But how often do you see individual residents/resident-run-organizations make an attempt at raising awareness?

Love their hearts, I do.

A little more on the event as posted on the ASpiRE! website:

“Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ASpiRE! would like to invite you the ASpiRE! Pink Charity Ball! This important event will take place Sunday, October 28th from 2pm SL to 4pm SL on ASpiRE! Isle. We will have music (donated by DJ Nexeus), dancing, and contests. Please come dressed in formal pink attire. There will be a Pretty in Pink competition!! Throughout the event, you will have an opportunity to donate Lindens. All proceeds will go directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.”

I will most definitely be there, in between the two Halloween parties I have to go to that day. What better way to take a break from all the partying then to go to ANOTHER party that, even in some small way, makes a difference? I fully encourage everyone to join me, and I look forward to seeing you all there!
