The name of the notecard is not important and will be changed when added to the message board.

And now for a well overdue update at the end of this 2023 Relay Season!

Friends, we've had a record-breaking year for Relay for Life of Second Life overall, hitting that $5 million USD in total funds raised since RFL of SL began in 2005! Along with that, it has been a huge record-breaking season for Ponies For Life as a team, having earned (at the time of this post) over $1,160 USD in total via $Linden donations in Second Life and $USD donations on the ACS Dashboard outside of SL.

Thanks to every single dollar and cent, we surpassed our $1,000 2023 season fundraising goal, reaching Platinum Fundraising Club Level the day before Relay Weekend began on June 10th! And thanks to our team members and sponsors this season, we are confident in to keeping this momentum going through the off-season, through Kick-off 2024, and even beyond!

With that said, here are the official dates for next year's Relay:

• Registration - Jan. 15, 2024 • Kick-off - Feb. 17, 2024 • Relay Weekend - June 8-9, 2024

And next year's theme was also announced during this year's "Sink the Sims" after party and award ceremony:

Decades of Hope!

Thank you teammates for helping Second Life hit this amazing milestone! I’m really looking forward to this year. \o/

Hey Ponies, firstly, I’d like to apologize for dropping the ball when the RFL 2016 fundraising season came to an end. I was away from SL when the season officially ended and was not able to record our team’s end of season totals before the Donation Kiosks auto deleted themselves in-world! And at that time, the RFLofSL website also reset their totals. >_<

From what I remember, I know for sure our team generated just above $L20,000... not anywhere near our goal of $L126,000, but it was our first year running and I am proud of all our members for the efforts you all put into getting the word out!

As soon as I have any news regarding the 2017 fundraising season, you’ll hear from me again! ♥

I Relay for my cousin Erin, taken from us by brain cancer waaay too soon, whom also "took an active role in Relay For Life." http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/549805.html

I Relay for my Grandpa Reagan, who is missing a lung and a half(!!!) due to lung cancer but still trucking on like the military man he is!

I Relay for my old friend and boss, Jen, whom we lost to the return of breast cancer.

I Relay because it is what I CAN do to fight the fight against cancer.
