To Hunt or not to Hunt

Did you know that Wear Gray has their own hunt going on around the Sim? Over half the stores on the sim are participating and all you need to do is look for a small grey ribbon.

Each store that is participating in the hunt has our hunt sign located in their store.

Ribbons are only located in the stores that have the signs shown. Some have 1 ribbon and some have more. When you get the ribbon it will be labelled as 'Wear Gray Hunt Item - 1 of....' to tell you how many to look for.

There are some terrific items in the hunt ribbons. Some of our bloggers - click their links to the left - have written about them so you can see just what you are hunting for.

And to end off on a really big high. Our total donations amount so far is:

$487,097L

Last years TOTAL donations - $212,524L

This years TOTAL as at the end of the day on the 16th - $418,365L

We still have 9 days left for the Wear Gray Market. I think I can honestly say we are going to easily DOUBLE last years donations. All that is needed to push us over, and make it double last years is $6,683L

Thank you so much to everyone donating and showing your support. It truly is heart-warming.

Wear Gray's Stage

It's update time, so we thought we should tell you all about the central stage at the Market. During set-up stage for Wear Gray we approached Further Monday and Fang Roffo, owner's of !Weather or Not?, enquiring about a build for a central stage.

For anyone that visited Operation Squeegee this year and saw the central stage there, you will know why we went straight to them. Further and Fang pride themselves on their unique designs, attention to detail and sculpties. Whilst the stage is specific for Wear Grays events, it holds many other uses. During a conversation with Further at set up, I mentioned that it would look cute as a garden accessory as well. So that was the focus for my picture. To give you inspiration to see it another setting, other than a stage with a DJ booth and advertising.

The stage itself is a low 31 prims with an extra prim shadow. Not only is it great as a stage when you want to fit in what you need but not take up too much room for dancers, it's just perfect for those backyard or beach-side decks, with a table and chairs and maybe some potted plants.

The stage is available at !WorN?'s Wear Gray store and is exclusive to the Wear Gray Market. So get it while it's there. Their store is right next to the central stage at Wear Gray.

Our thanks go to Further and Fang for the hard work and effort they put in to this stage, and for donating it to Wear Gray for our central stage.

Lastly, a quick update on our totals - $384, 108L. We're over the moon at the generous amounts of donations coming in.

Don't forget, the Wear Gray stage is only available at the Market, now through till September 25th.

Thank you to all our Wear Gray Bloggers, and to all the other bloggers around the grid helping to spread the word.

There's always one.....

There was a break in the DJ events today, the auctions still going strong through the day though.

There was however some entertainment, of a different kind.

It seems that no good charity event is free from people deciding to run amok. Today was only day three and we had the pleasure of ejecting and banning an individual that was acting very inappropriately.

Did this stop us having an awesome day in sales and donations?....no way! We are still going strong as ever with tonight's tally for the end of day three sitting at

$354, 807L

And with a third lot of auctions under way we hope to boost that amount even more. Don't forget merchants. If your items are up for auction, make sure to let your VIP's in your groups know. After all, they are one of a kind designs that they may want to grab.

Day one ends with happy tears

Day one of the Wear Gray Market and Sanura and Arora are bouncing around high on happiness. Even before the sim was opened for business we had received more donations that we thought possible, thanks to the merchants participating in Wear Gray having donation jars and Wear Gray Vendors in their stores.

After just 18 hours of open trading we beat last years totals of $212, 524L. Day one wasn't even over and we had outdone all of last years efforts!!!

8pm rolled around and our first DJ for the Market, Alicia Chenaux rocked the sim for two hours bringing in more donations. Alicia donated all tips for her set using a Wear Gray Donation jar instead of her own. Thank you ever so much for your generosity Alicia and for helping us open with a bang.

With midnight now upon us and a new day about to begin in the market we count up our totals and can't wipe the grin from our faces. It's only just begun, but we are so happy to announce that our donations so far have reached $257, 574L.

We would like to thank everyone who has donated, purchased items or even just visited to show their support. It means the world to us, and to those, whose lives are going to be affected for the better, by our eventual donation to ABTA at the end of the Market.

Sanura & Arora

We're Open

The Wear Gray Market has opened it's doors and is ready to raise some serious funds for the American Brain Tumor Association.

Take your limo right to the centre of the market. To help everyone have as close to a lag free shopping experience as possible, you'll be offered a Lag Reducing Tips note card on landing. There are some very helpful hints in there and also some myth-busters. You'll probably be surprised that what you normally thought was a great lag reducer - actually isn't =) One of the helpful ideas is sitting on a prim and editing/moving yourself around. It's a lot easier when the lag monster strikes to just slide around on a prim. So to help you with that you'll see a stack of boxes where you land. They have been set so anyone can use them, so grab a prim, park your tush....and enjoy shopping sitting down for a change. (oh and psst a little fairy told me they are also set for sale with freebie gifts inside).

The central area includes banners from our merchants who have their stores in the market. Each sign has the LM to their main store, just touch and go. Their are also banners scattered around the sim. As you can see we have a lot of designers sponsoring this very worthwhile cause. It is so fantastic to see so many people getting behind it.

Just behind you when arriving are the auction boards. During the two weeks of the Market there will be three items, donated from the merchants of Wear Gray, that will be auctioned off in the bid boxes. These will run for 24 hours and the highest bidder will automatically be sent the item upon closing. 100% of the profits raised from these auctions goes towards Wear Gray supporting the American Brain Tumor Association. The auction details can be found on our Events page.

The stage area was kindly designed and donated by Weather! or Not?. At a low 31 prims it looks absolutely fantastic. If you love it as much as we do - pop over to !WorN?'s Wear Gray store and grab one. It's only available at Wear Gray as an exclusive, so don't leave it till the last minute. There are 10 DJ's lined up over the course of the two weeks that will be appearing at Wear Gray and performing at the central stage. Make sure to check our Events page to keep up to date with who is playing, and when.

Thank you to our Sponsors

The Wear Gray Market is officially FULL. We have 130 fantastic stores all lined up to fill the sim with awesome new designs especially for Wear Gray.

Not only will they be releasing brand new exclusive items for Wear Gray but they will also have other items from their main stores available at the Market.

Along with these stores we have 4 donation stores scattered around the Market. These stores were paid for and then donated to Wear Gray for those that can't fill a store themselves but would love the opportunity to showcase an item or two for Wear Gray.

Lexi Morgan, Owner of Stellar graciously sponsored a large store for Wear Gray. With room for at least 20 vendors. This is a perfect little spot for those that want to showcase just one donation. Thank you so much for your support Lexi.

Zoey Gabargini, owner of {paper.doll} graciously donated a large store for Wear Gray. Zoey may have one or two items of her own out, but the rest of the store is for donation items. Big thanks to Zoey. Your donation is very much appreciated.

Jenica Penucca, owner of Zombie Popcorn has also donated a large store for Wear Gray. Zombie Popcorn may have a vendor or two out in the donation store but the place is there for others to use. Many thanks Jenica for your contribution.

Michi Fhang, owner of Fhang Candy has had to withdraw her small shop due to circumstances which have popped up. However she is leaving her store as a donation store for others to place a vendor or two. What a wonderful idea. Thank you very much Michi.

These Donation Stores will be specifically for items that are 100% profit donated to Wear Gray. Store owners that already have a store space on the sim will be given the opportunity to place ONE vendor in a donation store. This may benefit those that have a sim on the east side of the sim and want to place an item on the west side donation store. Please note though that these stores are specifically aimed at the little stores around the grid that couldn't possibly get a store themselves so this is a chance for them to show us what they have by donating via the donation stores. If you have not got a store already organised at Wear Gray but would be interested in placing a vendor in a donation store (or know of someone who might) please contact either Sanura Snowpaw or Arora Zanzibar for details. For store owners already at Wear Gray please let Sanura or Arora know if you would like to place an extra vendor in the donation store so we can keep a track of prim allocations.

Once again Sanura and Arora would love to thank Jenica, Lexi, Zoey and Michi for thier support and for offering these stores as donation stores.
