How we are Organizing.....

Hello Everyone!

In this first post I would like to show you how we are organizing this charity event for complete transparency and clarity.

"Dreams Way" Fundraiser

The "Dreams Way" project was created with the purpose of helping "Brigadoon Explorers" and "Dreams" Foundations, which are active in organizing various activities for people affected by A/S and autism. Further informations about these Foundations can be found here: http://soj-sldreams.blogspot.it/

The agency is present in Second Life with an active avatar: Golda Stein.
All proceeds from the event will be payed on a cashier avatar named "Dreamsway Resident" created by founder of Dreams Way, Shanty Bookmite. Once the event ends all the incomes will be devolved to Golda Stein through an SL transaction.
For greater transparency, Shanty Bookmite will post on the blog (http://dreams-way-sl.blogspot.it/) a record of every transaction to Dreamsway Resident as well as the final transaction to Golda Stein. Each participant to the event will be able to verify the amount of each transaction and that all the proceeds will be devolved to the avatar representing the Foundations, Golda Stein.

Our goal is to get fashion Designers, Photographers and Fashion Agencies involved in organizing a big charity event to raise funds for Brigadoon Explorers and Dreams.
The event will take place from November ,11th till November, 30th, in a sim specially created for the event, which includes a shopping district and an area for fashion shows.
Our catwalk will host 7 Fashion Shows organized by 7 Agencies that will join the project showcasing creations from participating Designers.

A big Charity Auction will close the event: your skills will be sold to the highest bidder!


We are looking for:

1) 7 Fashion Agencies willing to organize the Shows
2) Fashion Designers willing to participate to the Shows
3) Photographers, Fashion Designers, Fashion Teachers, Personal Shoppers/Stylists willing to participate to the Auction.
