Great Strides auction parties inworld and IRL! Woo hoo ....

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
