October is a hugely busy month in Second Life, filled with all kinds of events, Halloween specials, haunted houses and activities. One of the events you will not want to miss out on is the Gotham Island Event at Creations Park being held to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. Many of us know or have a family member/friend who suffers from Parkinson's and this is an awesome way to help donate to research efforts and have a good time enjoying all the fun this time of year brings.
The event is hosting a ton of stuff to do and see, so plan to spend a little time while you visit. There is a mall area set up with dozens of designers from all over Second Life. They have some pretty amazing things for sale, including exclusives for the event, many of which will not be sold after the event ends. Proceeds from the sales go to the research foundation.
Additionally, there is a hunt (you are looking for candy corn, each for 10L) and the hunt items can be found in the shops and areas around the sim. There are raffles and silent auctions to enjoy, as well as DJs playing sets from the stage area. Given the time of year, you can also find a haunted house, an asylum and a cemetery to explore or you can get your thrills with a visit to the midway. I've included a copy of the sim map and there are also maps in various locations throughout the sim to help you get around.
Throughout the month I will be posting peeks at some of the exclusives and hunt gifts you can find at the event, but please remember the important thing here is not what you can get from this event, but the good work that will be made possible by the donations from your purchases. Parkinson's Disease impacts a lot of people and the research being done to find better treatment options and potentially a cure for this illness is definitely a worthy cause.
