The Red Door Lounge and Lupus Fundraiser

The Red Door Lounge is a wonderfully elegant space for dancing and socializing, but don't let the gloss fool you. The owners and managers, including Cleopatra Kellman, Yali Magic, Jewel Twine and Angel McMullen, also have their feet on the ground, and their ears open to the RL needs of the black community, and this includes their awareness of lupus as a disease that disproportionately affects black women in the US and globally. They are currently holding a fundraising auction and are also accepting donations on behalf of the Lupus Awareness Foundation. Lupus (SLE) is a serious health problem that affects mainly young women. Nine out of 10 people who have lupus are women, and typically, seven of those are of African descent. This group's purpose is to increase awareness, support survivors & fundraise for Lupus Charities around the world; so far, they have reached 50% of their goal of $50000L. Among the items available for auction: a portrait session with Elegant Images, the stylish Grayson prefab home, which uses 208 prims (furnished) and requires a 1028 lot; the Eden Waterfall, "a spectacular cascading waterfall, softly illuminated in moonlight and featur[ing] crystal clear water tumbling into layered pools that are draped in flowering vines and ferns," modifyiable to allow terraforming landscaping options; a romantic waterfall garden designed by Amethyst Jetaime; and a two-hour event package DJ'd by and OX Radio affiliate, along with a two-day live broadcast on 101.7 FM promoting the event. Get your winning bid in by Sunday the 25th; prizes will be awarded during a formal party to be held from 4 to 6 pm SLT on Sunday. Kellman, as a Lupus survivor, knows directly how debilitating this illness can be, and invites visitors to the Sister of Eden sim to drop by the Information Center sponsored by The Red Door Project. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sister%20of%20Eden/251/127/22/
