Thank you to the following for above and beyond contributions to our region!

Schultz Bros. graciously provided their entire collection of Old NYC buildings and accessories for the build on the Second Pride region and the compliments continue to pour in!

Backbone has provided a full collection of decor and accessory items that you see all over the region, especially in our hangout areas!

Boystown has built our main stage and dance area since 2019, along with many other design elements on the regions!

Second Life’s sponsorship and assistance continues to be invaluable to us, and thereby to the organizations we support. We now have two full regions and we will continue to update and grow within that additional space!
