ALONE WE CAN DO SO LITTLE
TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH
ABOUT US
The American Cancer Society has been active in Second Life for 19 years.
With the help of hundreds of volunteers and thousands who have donated, we have raised over
$5 million (USD) via Relay For Life, Strides Campaigns in October and MEGA events like
Fantasy Faire, SL Christmas Expo & Winter Breedable's Fair, SL Living Expo and SL Fandom Con.
All funds donated through official American Cancer Society fundraising tools in SL are routed to the American Cancer Society in RL. Throughout the year, all donations collected are transferred to ACS, who then allocates it to various mission focus areas, including (but not limited to):
Leading the Global fight against cancer
Cancer research grants
cancer.org and our 24/7 toll free phone (1-800-227-2345) & chat service
Hope Lodges (giving patients and families a free place to stay throughout treatment)
Rides for patients to cancer treatment programs
The American Cancer Society also provides services inworld via information portals, cancer survivor support groups & cancer caregiver support groups held at Hope Haven
on American Cancer Society Island in partnership with Linden Lab.
This website is designed to let people know about all of the amazing ACS support services
and fundraising activities happening in Second Life and the equally amazing teams
of people who work together to make it all happen.
