Wings of Appreciation

The Wings of Appreciation award celebrates members of the Sanctuary community who go above and beyond — offering kindness, support, creativity, or dedication that makes this space better for everyone. Anyone can nominate; our team reviews and selects each month.

How It Works

  1. Nominate someone. Use our nomination form to tell us who you'd like to recognise and why. There's no word limit — write as much or as little as you like. Nominations are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the month.
  2. We review nominations. At the end of each month, the SOB team reads all submissions and discusses nominees together. We look for genuine impact — big or small.
  3. We notify the recipient. The chosen recipient is contacted privately before any announcement, so they hear it from us first. We never surprise someone publicly without their knowledge.
  4. We celebrate them. The recipient is announced to the community, added to our recipients page below, and presented with their Wings of Appreciation inworld.

Ready to shine a light on someone? Nominations take just a few minutes.

"Sanctuary of Butterfly (SoB) is truly one of the most loving, welcoming, and meaningful communities I have ever been blessed to be part of in Second Life. The founders are some of the kindest and most caring people I have met, not only in Second Life, but in real life as well. I have known many of the owners for a long time, even before I became part of SoB, and they have always shown me support, kindness, and genuine friendship. They created more than just a group. They created a family. SoB has given me a place to go, have fun, socialize, learn, grow, and feel accepted for who I am. This community is built on respect, acceptance, compassion, and love for everyone who walks through its doors. I am truly honored to call Sanctuary of Butterfly my home away from home. I can honestly say that joining SoB is one of the best decisions you can make in Second Life. Once you become part of this beautiful family, you will understand why so many of us never want to leave.

"Sanctuary of the Butterfly is my home, I was welcomed from the get go, the people here are friendly, accepting and it's a tight knit community, they always have a helping hand when needed. There's no other community like this one. I have been part of the community since the first day and I have met amazing people that I consider my family. I wouldn't change it for anything.
