[2008/04/28 11:36] IM: Bjorlyn Loon: Important question, Be.
[2008/04/28 11:36] IM: Ronnie Rhode: I kind of did that Be Ewing, started here as one woman operation and brought in like minded RL organizations.
[2008/04/28 11:36] IM: Harper Beresford: I wonder how much actual money and tangible support the non-profits get from being in SL.. do we have figures?
[2008/04/28 11:37] IM: Farnham Farrjones: mmm beees...
[2008/04/28 11:37] IM: Alliez Mysterio: they buzz a lot
[2008/04/28 11:37] IM: CeAire Decosta: Too hard to catch 'em!

[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Dancer Morris: The Metanomics site says that the Virtual Relay for Life raised nearly $115,000

[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: CeAire Decosta: Not bad for Linden donations!
[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Bjorlyn Loon: Thus far, Harper, in 2008?
[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Harper Beresford: and with how much human hours put towards it from the organization and the volunteers?
[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Dancer Morris: it doesn't say -- that was probably for all of 2007
[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Be Ewing: Ronnie - How do you involved your international members as you backfill into RL?
[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Alliez Mysterio: Many. many hours

[2008/04/28 11:38] IM: Alanagh Recreant smiles at Harper... all excellent questions
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Ronnie Rhode: International is not really our focus Be Ewing, for a variety of reasons.
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Lovely Encore: To the best of my knowledge, the 2007 Relay for Life of SL raised L118k USD
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Movies1963 Beck: the dolphin said they were "tata's"
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Harper Beresford: and yes, Alliez, are those volunteer hours efficient? Are they making a fair amount for their organization off the all the hours put into it?
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Zen Zeddmore: i've seen it on youtube as well
[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Bjorlyn Loon: here is the link for the ACS totals in 2007 http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_2_1x_American_Cancer_Socie...

[2008/04/28 11:39] IM: Harper Beresford: of course, they get that branding hit that is valuable but can't be monetized

[2008/04/28 11:40] IM: Dancer Morris: so I would guess they collected some money outside the main time period
[2008/04/28 11:40] IM: Aldon Huffhines: I was at the congressional hearing as myself... and then in the video as an avatar.
[2008/04/28 11:40] IM: Harper Beresford: my thing is this: are you getting allt he goodness out of this that you can or are you getting 15 cents on the hour?
[2008/04/28 11:41] IM: Alliez Mysterio: Events on going til its over
