MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER ACROSS SECOND LIFE
The 2014 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Across Second Life season will begin on September 1, 2014 and will continue until October 31, 2014.

The theme for the 2014 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Across Second Life is “Seasons of Pink”. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Across Second Life is part of the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life of Second Life.

About Breast Cancer:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now there are more than 2.9 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

Breast cancer also occurs in men. The American Cancer Society estimates for breast cancer in men in the United States for 2014 are:

About 2,360 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed
About 430 men will die from breast cancer

Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years.

About Making Strides Against Breast Cancer:

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer or MSABC is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting more than 300 communities to finish the fight. Every breast cancer walk and event is an incredible and inspiring opportunity to honor those who have battled breast cancer, raise awareness about what we can do to reduce our breast cancer risk, and race money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with research, information, services, and access to mammograms for women who need them.

The 2014 3rd quarter will begin on September 1 and what does that mean? Yesss… another round of The Arcade Gacha Event! September brings the 2nd Anniversary of this popular event to the grid and we will find The Arcade in its new location. In July, the team announced the move to a new sim called, very appropriately, The Arcade! There is also another region attached named “Gacha Galley” which will allow for off sim shopping when the primary region is full. This will be the first event from that location and it will open to the public on September 1, 2014, at 12:01am.

For the first time ever, the Arcade Team has decided to sell a limited number of early admission passes. These passes will be sold via the SL Marketplace and will give the purchaser 4 hours of shopping time ahead of the masses. There will only be 20 sold, and the sale will start on August 27th at 5pm SLT. You will probably have to be very quick to be able to purchase one of these… Read more >> here

The September round is sponsored by Apple Fall, Pure Poison, Boogers and Style Kingdom.

The participating vendors for this event on its 2nd anniversary are:

In the sweetness of friendship
let there be laughter,
and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.
