Susan G. Komen® Breast Cancer Fundraiser
As a real-world metaverse, Upland breaks down virtual boundaries so that each community member can bring their passion and life into the metaverse. This goes well beyond building a portfolio of assets or playing games with friends. As such, we’re proud to announce our October fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization! The fundraiser, and our ongoing partnership with Susan G. Komen, will help fight breast cancer and spread this powerful message into the metaverse.
The Susan G. Komen Block Explorer Fundraiser kicks off with registration on October 25. This is a great way for Uplanders to rally during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to support one of the world’s largest nonprofit organizations fighting to end breast cancer!
Fundraiser Details
The Susan G. Komen Block Explorer Fundraiser is the start of an ongoing collaboration between Upland and this amazing nonprofit. During the fundraiser, players will purchase special Susan G. Komen Block Explorers. Purchases will be in U.S. dollars (not UPX), and proceeds will help fund the nonprofit’s many breast cancer programs.
