House of Glas Post 5

The Home and Garden Expo February 26 - March 20 2022

 is the largest and longest running event of its kind in Second Life.

. Its main goal is supporting Relay For Life through its fundraising efforts. We strive to educate, entertain and help the people of Second Life to give to an amazing cause. Home and Garden Expo prides itself on championing not only Relay For Life but the visitors, exhibitors, performers and volunteers who make this event so successful.

HG Expo supports Relay For Life through fundraising in various forms throughout the event. Funds are raised through sponsorships, exhibitor fees, donation items, Great entertainment offerings, The Wall of Hope, Decorating Contest, Finale Auction and much more. More information about this event can be found on their website HERE.
