July 28: Relay for Life 2007
By Grazia Horwitz | July 26, 2007
On Saturday July 28 the annual SL Relay for Life will take place. A 24 hrs walkathon on a big part of the grid, for survivors of cancer, their family , friends and basically everyone who cares.
I have previously blogged about RFL, and wrote a small article about it in the last issue of Second Style, but as SLRFL ’07 is about to come to an end, I thought it would be good to write about it again, because I cannot stress enough on the importance, not only of your L$ donations to RFL (almost 27 million to date!!!!), but even more than that: your commitment, your involvement in supporting people who are fighting cancer and who are surviving also on events like RFL, because it’s so empowering.
I would like to call, for a last time this edition, all designers who have made specials for this final part of the Relay campaign and for this occasion I would like to go beyond fashion and apparel. So whatever special designs you have, clothes, shoes, houses, gadgets, whatever, send me your ads, before Friday 27 noon PDT, and I will do a mega post with all the goodies that will be available exclusively for this Relay event. I will need a jpg ad which is NOT bigger than 900×900 (no need to be square though) in my mailbox at grazia underscore horwitz at yahoo dot it. A SLurl link, and if you are part of a RFL team, the team’s name is handy for people to locate your goodies.
In the meantime 2 teasers already: my team mates Shai Delacroix and Nicky Ree have made fabulous one-day-only-grab-as-many-as-you-like-because-after-Relay-they-are-gone-forever outfits. Nicky has made Mara, a gown in champagne or black that comes with tons of possibilities for the skirt. Sleek gown, bell gown, train or not, or rather a sassy cocktail version? It’s all there for you. This gown is somewhat more expensive than usual, but then again… it’s all for the cause! And Shai has made an outfit for the stylish men that care for a good cause. This suit has the casual chic that we know from Casa del Shai designs. The funniest detail is in the back… she will know why you spend L$, you handsome man…… For this suit also goes: grab it on the 28th.. because it will NOT be in Shai’s shop after Relay for life! And you’ll be so sorry you’ve missed it!
Relay for Life starts at 2 pm PDT with an opening ceremony, and the first lap for survivors. After that everyone is invited to walk the track and visit the sponsor teams camp sites. The Relay will go on for 24 hours and there will be different themes on different times. With the RFL specials on Friday I will also post some more info about the timeschedule.
Give me something to do on my Friday night, send me your ads!!! Oh…. well, one thing… if the amount of ads is truly overwhelming, I reserve the right to make a selection, but I’ll do my best!!
