Press Release: SHOETOPIA 2013, Delay
of Charity Receipt.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Contact: Anessa Stine
SHOETOPIA 2013, the Second
Life Shoe Fair held this past November 15th – 30th, 2013, was a great
success. The SHOETOPIA organizers,
Anessa Stine and Sophia Harlow, are committed to maintaining transparency and preserving
the goodwill and trust of their valued patrons, supporters, fellow designers
and associates.
A grand total of 1,514,611 Linden
Dollars have been raised by the SHOETOPIA
2013 event for the Soles4Souls charity
organization and paid directly to their Second
Life account (Soles4Souls Resident). However, due to staffing changes at Soles4Souls and inexplicable delays at
Linden Labs, there has been a delay in the Soles4Souls
charity organization gaining access to their funds. According to representatives
of Soles4Souls, several phone calls
and multiple Support Tickets have been submitted to Linden Labs without response.
All interested parties have yet to see a formal receipt for the donated funds,
as Linden Lab demonstrates no
urgency to help Soles4Souls receive
their donations within a reasonable time frame.
Looking ahead,
preliminary planning has already begun for SHOETOPIA 2014, designer
application will open in May of this year, blogger applications will occur at a
later undisclosed date. It is shaping up to be an even bigger and more exciting
event than last year’s very successful debut. Information will be posted at http://slshoetopia.blogspot.ca/ as it becomes available.
