Charity Fundraising: Going Virtual
Posted on 08.31.08 by templeton @ 8:00 pm


Fayandria Foley helped reel in big bucks in July with one of the year’s most curious fundraisers. She helped pull together an American Cancer Society Relay for Life, which is typically a walkathon locally. More than 2,000 showed up—or didn’t, actually. Everyone at Foley’s relay stayed home to participate. The relay took place in the Web universe of Second Life. Second Life is a three-dimensional video world where players can create an online personality.
