9th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
This Year's Sim Sponsor is Digital Farm Systems. Other sponsors include Designs by Soosy, Kultivate Music Management, LOPO District, and Rapture.
Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL, BOSLArts, E Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, M&M Radio, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, Unity Fashion, Virtual Arts Magazine and XRadio SL.
This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.
Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure. And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 55+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths.
For a complete listing of events and more details on this year's event, please visit the website: rockyourrack.wordpress.com
The event officially opens to the public on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 12:00 am SLT and will close at 11:59 pm SLT on Sunday, October 17, 2021.
Together we can make a difference!

The tower was constructed following a fundraising campaign, which accompanied a resurgence of Scottish national identity in the 19th century. In addition to public subscription, it was partially funded by contributions from a number of foreign donors, including Italian national leader Giuseppe Garibaldi. Completed in 1869 to the designs of architect John Thomas Rochead at a cost of £18,000, the monument is a 67-metre (220 ft) sandstone tower, built in the Victorian Gothic style.
The tower stands on the Abbey Craig, a volcanic crag above Cambuskenneth Abbey, from which Wallace was said to have watched the gathering of the army of King Edward I of England, just before the Battle of Stirling Bridge. The monument is open to the general public. Visitors climb the 246 step spiral staircase to the viewing gallery inside the monument's crown, which provides expansive views of the Ochil Hills and the Forth Valley.
A number of artifacts believed to have belonged to Wallace are on display inside the monument, including the Wallace Sword, a 1.63-metre (5 ft, 4 in) long sword weighing almost three kilograms. Inside is also a Hall of Heroes, a series of busts of famous Scots, effectively a small national Hall of Fame.
„ Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen ! We are now live at the annual New Year Fundraising Gala, organized by the ICC.
We have some very interesting guests, who are willing to donate their money for various projects, that need financial help.
The most impressive apperance yet is definately Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Mr. Skirata is known for his extrodinary collection of suits and his gallant behaviour and today he has given his best to make an impression. Mr. Skirata arrived in his new personal submarine right here on peer 21 ! And now we can see him coming down the ramp of his vehicle. Mr. Skirata , may I ask you some questions ?“
„Of course you can, my dear and call me Ordo, please.“
„Oh, well....Ordo...what an apperance, what a show ! Where in the world did you acquire a submarine ?“
„As you might know, I recently finished my new movie, which is about a team of deep sea scientists. The submarine was part of the props and I thought it would be nice to use it for promotional matters.“
„Ah, I see, well I think a lot of people are willing to watch that movie.“
„Oh, they always want to see my movies...“
„The role of a captain seems to fit you quite well.“
„Oh, no, I don’t think so. People always say that, but I’m not a good captain in any way.“
„Now, let me asky you the last question. To which project will you be donating money today. I mean, there were over 63 projects to choose from.“
„You won’t belive it, but I couldn’t narrow it down on any of them, so I decided to donate a bit of money to every project...“
„To every project !? That is quite generous ! – Ladies and Gentlemen, that was Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Thank you very much Ordo !“
„It was a pleasure !“
_______________________
Quite a difficulte MoC to start the year with. Originally it was planned to feature a bunch of lighting effects, but it ended up just having some LEDs in the building. The submarine was kind of a last minute idea, but it adds a funny element.
See more of Mr. Grievous and Ordo here.
Also have a look at the inside of the building here.
Hope you like it !
Time for another photo dump! This time, it is of Illinois Railway Museum's 2009 chartered CTA train called the "Snowflake Special." IRM periodically runs these as fundraising events for future and continuing preservation of their CTA collection. For the 2009 event, I believe this was for to acquire a set of soon-to-be retired 2400-series and 2600-series cars. Don't hold me to that, because as of this posting (March 30, 2024), it has been exactly 15 years and a day since I rode this train, and in that time many details have been lost in the dark recesses of my memory. I missed the exact anniversary by a day because for the last several years I was convinced this took place on March 30th. But the date stamps and file names on the photos prove otherwise.
Anyway, I know nothing of the CTA, and aside from a few trips here and there to see the Cubs, I had never truly ridden the CTA before this. And I have only ridden it a few times since. So I will leave it up to those of you who know to fill in the details of these locations.
What I CAN tell you though is that it was supposed to be a nice sunny first full weekend in Spring, but Mother Nature decided to send us a curve ball. The entirety of the Chicagoland area was blanketed by an early spring snowstorm, seeing upwards of 8" of snow falling and accumulating throughout the day. But by sunset, all the snow was gone, as if it had never happened. Our train was to depart on the CTA Blue Line terminus at Forest Park and travel on all parts of the system except the Yellow Line. We were let off for lunch at Marshall Fields (yes, it was Macy's, but it will ALWAYS be Marshall Fields to those of us old enough to remember). And we returned back to Forest Park that evening. Along the way we stopped at Midway Airport, the Brown Line Terminus, and the Red LIne Southern Terminus. And for those who wanted, we could get off in multiple spots so the train could make photographic run-bys. I cannot tell you where we got off because I simply do not know.

What a rather magnificent interior!
After a fundraising campaign, we bought Ashton 8: and yesterday was the Big Day when we brought it back to the Museum of Transport. It was a very emotional day for Geoff Lumb, his wife and daughter; number 8 has been Geoff's labour of love for fifty years and it will leave a big hole in their garage and their hearts.
But it's in the best place to secure its long term future, and Geoff's work will be seen by thousands of museum visitors. It's an amazing survivor and it even drove under its own power onto the back of the low-loader that took it to Manchester.
Critteraid undertakes a number of fundraising activities on an annual basis. Over the years, we have explored a variety of these fundraisers and we are very proud of our annual endeavours to raise funds for the animals in our care.

Light The North charity fundraising art trail goes live on Monday 9th August 2021, this is a regular fundraising event that raises much needed cash for various good causes each year , this year it is Clan Cancer Support , the lighthouse sculptures have already started to be placed in their designated spots in time for the launch on the 9th August , I have tracked some of those down and hopefully will complete the trail over the coming weeks , posting all my shots of my progress in this album .
Fifty stunning lighthouse sculptures are being installed this week, ready for the launch of Clan’s spectacular Light The North art trail.
The 2.5 metre-tall pieces, painted by some of the UK’s most talented artists, will shine a light across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland from Monday August 9, when the trail is officially launched.
Organised in partnership with Wild in Art, which helped deliver Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail in 2019, Light The North will be a major fundraiser for cancer support charity Clan.
The trail also aims to provide a “light in the dark” for those battling cancer and their families.
A team of Clan’s Light The North volunteers and drivers have now started delivering the 50 lighthouses to their specific locations.
Locals and visitors alike will soon be able to find out where each lighthouse is thanks to an interactive map that will be shared by the P&J and Evening Express when the trail officially kicks off.
Little lighthouses created by local schools for Light The North trail
Each of the 50 lighthouses is unique and backed by a local business. Evening Express, the P&J and Original 106 are among some of the sponsors to have their own dedicated lighthouse.
In addition to the main sculpture trail, 76 little lighthouses created by school pupils will be displayed all over the north of Scotland, including in Aberdeen Science Centre and a number of local businesses. The Evening Express and P&J will share an interactive map of the little lighthouses too.
The lighthouse sculptures were gathered and stored at Shore Porters in Aberdeen ready to be delivered and installed across the north and north-east.
More than 70 schools got involved in Clan’s education initiative which was created to give young people across the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland the opportunity to get creative and help their school or group design a little lighthouse to be featured on the trail.
Lighthouse sculptures to be auctioned off to raise funds for cancer charity
At the end of this year’s Light The North trail, which will be present in each of the areas where Clan Cancer Support operates, all the main 50 lighthouse sculptures will be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity so that it can continue supporting people affected by cancer.
Looking good, Darren Hill, communications and marketing manager with Clan, helping prepare the lighthouses.
Fiona Fernie, Clan’s head of income generation and business development, said: “Clan helps people live with and beyond a cancer diagnosis, but we need your help to continue to be there for them. We’ve seen high demand for our services while facing a significant drop in our income.
“Cancer is not going away, and our services are more indispensable than ever, so we want to encourage everyone to get out and support Clan through Light The North.”
Clan’s Light The North Farewell Weekend will take place from Friday October 29 to Sunday October 31 and the auction is planned for Monday November 1.
