Annie’s Costumes Seeks to Raise Donations for the Broward Children’s Center

Holiday season is a season of giving. With the launch of the Christmas Village at our Second Life Costume Store, Annie’s Costumes is holding a fund raising event in Second Life on December 20th at 6pm SLT (9pm EST) for the Broward Children’s Center. The event will include music, ice skating and photos with Santa Claus.

Broward Children’s Center specializes in helping infants, children and young adults with physical and developmental disabilities, including some of the most fragile children in the nation. Founded in 1971, our nonprofit facilities in Pompano Beach, Florida, offer a range of health, wellness, education, recreation, therapeutic, daily living and advocacy services. During more than three decades of service thousands of children and their families have benefited from the Center’s programs.

We invite you to visit the Broward Children’s Center and make a donation to this worthy charity.

Christmas Village Displays Come to Second Life

Annie's Costumes has added a virtual Christmas Village to our Second Life costume store where avatars can explore Santa's workshop, skate on a lake and shop for Christmas decorating ideas and clothing.

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world with millions of residents registered from around the globe. As a member of this virtual community, Annie's Costumes created these Christmas village displays and holiday themed costumes, such as life-like Santa suit, a sexy Mrs. Claus, and Male and Female Elf costumes, with the Second Life residents in mind.

Ten Golden Rules and LeftBank Studios were instrumental in helping Annie's Costumes expand the Second Life Store for Christmas. Additionally, we were able to partner with ChristmasTreeforMe.com so we could offer virtual Christmas trees for avatars looking for holiday decorating ideas.

Annie's Costumes Launches Second Life Store

Annie's Costumes just launched a virtual haunted house and costume shop in Second Life. Avitars are able to shop for costumes and then be spooked as they walk through the virtual haunted house.

This move only increases the web presence of this amazing company. “Going virtual just seemed like the next step for our costume shop,” states Shari McConahay, Marketing Director for Annie's Costumes, “We worked closely with Ten Golden Rules and LeftBank Studios to design a Second Life costume and clothing line that would reflect the true spirit of Halloween. All the classic Halloween costumes are represented from vampires to witches, from pirates to princesses.”
