All this week, starting right now at 80s Night at LoD from 6-8pm and running until 8pm next Friday, I will be donating all of my tips from my DJ shifts to Stand Up To Cancer.

Stand Up To Cancer is an organization that is attempting to remove the obstacles to cancer research and build collaborative teams of researchers to help us find a cure.

From their mission statement:

Working with the top experts in cancer research, Stand Up To Cancer is forging a new way to develop breakthroughs that will end cancer. We’re putting together the best and the brightest minds in cancer research – those on the edge of accomplishment – investing in their projects and taking the bureaucratic obstacles out of their way. We are building interdisciplinary “Dream Teams” of scientists, clinicians, technicians and other experts, who will focus on a specific cancer problem. We’ll track their progress in real time, so that everyone who invests can see how their participation is creating real change.

Funds will be administered by the American Association for Cancer Research, the largest scientific organization in the world focusing on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research. Together with their scientific Blue Ribbon Advisory Committee, comprised of world-class scientists across several disciplines and patient advocates, the most promising projects will be identified.

If you can't make it to a shift and are still inclined to donate, feel free to IM me inworld or visit www.standuptocancer.org to make a donation.

I will give a total of all my lindens collected for charity next Friday after 8pm SLT and will be adding that amount, in dollars, to the personal donation I am making in my mother's name.

Thank you.
