On Sunday May 21st Relay For Life Team Aether Chrononauts Tiny Steps or ACTS lead by Wildstar Beaumont and Liz Wilner held The Privateers Ball Swashbucklers for Life Edition to benefit Relay for Life of Second Life 2023 on Rosehaven Absinthe in the Rosehaven sim group from noon to 2pm SLT. The dance was to raise donations for the American Cancer Society through Relay For Life of Second Life kiosk.
With music DJed by Magda Kamanev, who has
done all the Privateers Balls, the dance proved to be promising when
within 15 minutes had collected L$35,000. By the time an hour had passed
the total climbed to over L$100,000 with around 50 people present.
Right at an hour and a half the kiosk hit L$150,000! About this time a
challenge was put up that if the total reached L$175,000 then a L$25,000
contribution would be given. It was down to the wire but in the last
minutes the kiosk hit L$175,000 but then quickly 185 then 195 and right
in the last few seconds L$200,000!!!
Wildstar
Beaumont is quoted to say” Thank you so much for being here and for
your donations! Including the Ascot kiosks we made more than 250k L$
That is more than 1000 USD for relay for life.” and “when we started the
ball team ACTS was sapphire. We sailed through emerald and we are
almost ruby now. Thank you all again ! “. With three weeks left till
relay weekend it’s going to be interesting just how far this team might
go
