Hiya Gang,
You may know that I'm in SL representing Great Strides, a RL nonprofit whose mission is: to promote emotional healing and growth in partnership with horses. (Yep, you read it right! ;-) Read all about us at: http://www.GreatStrides.org. Anyway, we're holding BOTH RL and inworld auctions coming up in August and September and I'm wondering if you might be interested in donating items for sale in our auctions! * Inworld, we've already secured a yacht, some buildings, equine artwork (photos and other media) and an amazing one-hour personal tour of the elven lands. The auction is planned for 8/9/08 at Lord and Lady Smadga's Horse Park. * In real life, we have items donated by David and Karen O'Connor, gold and silver Olympic medalists in equestrian, a horse drawn carriage ride complete with a wine and cheese party for two, and some very upscale dinner packages at local restaurants (near Damascus, MD, USA). The event is planned for 9/6/08 at our farm. This is an incredibly crucial year for the agency as we lost $75,000 in RL support due to shrinking local and state government support for nonprofits. On the other hand, we have strong positive momentum as we've greatly expanded our individual donor base, program offerings and board of directors. I hope you can help us out inworld or IRL with an item, or by coming to our party! The inworld event will be at Lord and Lady Smadga's Horse Park – a lovely Dutch couple that have taken great interest in our work. The event IRL has a medieval theme – "A Knight to Remember" - and the evening will be a BLAST! (We still have sponsorship opportunities, too, inworld or IRL!) Thanks for your support in whatever way you can help! Please let me know what you can do, Brad/Veri Brad Lewis (RL) Veri Oddfellow (SL) Board Chair Great Strides http://www.GreatStrides.org |

Like the first Nonprofit Commons sim on Plush, a virtual space for nonprofits, managed by TechSoup, Nonprofit Commons 2 creates and houses a community of social benefit organizations in the online virtual world of Second Life. This community of practice is entirely volunteer-run and hosts organizations from across the globe. To date, they have created a community blog, Google Group and a resource-rich wiki, and have held mixed-reality events, workshops, and regular weekly town hall meetings. This international community is a hub for charities to share best practices, work together on innovative ways to benefit their causes, and network with organizations from across the globe. |

Hello SLHealthy-ites!
This is our first foray into this forum, but we've been inworld for about a year. We're very excited about opening our new inworld office on the second sim of the Nonprofit Commons. We'll have our barn, some horses and soon - some trail riding available inworld. This Spring we're planning for a ride-a-thon to raise friends and funds for our RL mental health program that works in partnership with horses. Yes, you heard that right! With horses. Meet the herd on our websites: www.GreatStrides.org. More to follow, however in the meantime, contact me in RL or SL, Thanks, Brad Lewis Veri Oddfellow (SL) Board Chair Great Strides www.GreatStrides.org
