Hope Floats 2023


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!

 We look forward to the off-season in preparation for 2024! We Are Relay!

Luminaria - REMEMBER Ceremony - Saturday, 9pm SLT (Pacific)

The REMEMBER Ceremony will be held at 9pm SLT on Saturday, June 7, 2025.  It is a very moving time at the Relay. During this hour-long ceremony, the track falls into darkness and silence, with everyone on all of the Relay regions asked to not chat in open text or local open voice chat, for all activities and events to cease, and for all attendees to walk the track in silence or to stand in quiet respect alongside the track. Music will play and names of those we remember will be read.  The Remember Ceremony - also known as the Ceremony of Hope or Luminaria Ceremony - is a reminder of why we Relay. It is a time to remember those we have lost to Cancer.  It is a time to pay tribute to men, women, and children around the world whose lives have been affected by this disease.  It is a time for each of us to reflect on how this disease has touched us personally.  It is a time for us to look inside ourselves with quiet reflection and find hope.  Because no matter w...
