Improve The Lives of Cancer Patients: World's Biggest Coffee Morning in Second Life

For those unfamiliar with The World's Biggest Coffee Morning, this is from the official site:

World's Biggest Coffee Morning is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK, with an estimated 2 million people raising their mugs for Macmillan last year. This year's event takes place on Friday 28 September (or choose a date that suits you) and with your help we aim to raise over £7 million for people affected by cancer.

What is different this year is that Macmillan is also holding The World's Biggest Coffee Morning in Second Life:

September 25, 2007 - Press Dispensary - Macmillan Cancer Support is taking its World’s Biggest Coffee Morning out of this world and into the virtual environment of Second Life (SL). The event – on Friday September 28, 2007 – is the first to take place in the brand new SL Macmillan cancer information centre, created for Macmillan in Second Life’s ‘Blue Horizon’ business park as a joint venture between SL developer New Business Horizons (NBH – http://www.nbhorizons.com ) and SL media producer Phoenix Film & Television (http://www.phoenixmedia.co.uk)...

...This year sees the event extended to Second Life, where it involves rather more than just virtual coffee being served all day to visitors to Macmillan’s cancer information centre. On behalf of Macmillan, developer NBH has persuaded designers from across SL to donate items to the leading cancer care charity, to raise money in a World’s Biggest Coffee Morning auction. In addition, giant coffee cups have been placed at strategic locations all over SL to attract donors: when a donation is made, the donor takes a giant spoon, stirs the cup and wins a free virtual t-shirt together with one of the designers’ randomly selected gifts, which itself will have a value of up to several thousand Linden dollars (the currency of SL)...

...The Macmillan Cancer Information Centre can be found inworld at SLURL Blue Horizon/100/173/26.

So on September 28th, 2007, find a spoon.
