ABOUT JAVIK STATION
Founded in 2017, Javik Station began as a gay sci-fi roleplay sim with monthly parties. Since then, we’ve grown into a vibrant community of creators, artists, DJs, and photographers—active both in-world and on our thriving Discord.
We began fundraising in 2018 for the American Cancer Society through Relay For Life and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. With booths, parties, and merchandise, we were regularly among the top earners, raising L$600,000 (US$2,400)–L$800,000 (US$3,200) twice a year.
In 2022, Andrei Javik served as marketing director for SciFi Expo, which raised L$2,411,199 (US$9,644.80) for Making Strides.
In 2023, we hosted two months of fundraising on our sim—opening night alone brought in L$534,303 (US$2,213). From May through June we raised L$1,001,208 (US$4,004) for Relay For Life and were recognized as the Top New Individual Fundraising Team.
Also in 2023, Javik Station and Cox Leather launched the official Mr. SL Leather contest at our Folsom weekend and named the 2024 titleholders, who then served as mascots for our Relay For Life efforts.
In 2024, our Relay For Life weekend raised L$1,500,250 (US$6,001).
In 2025, we raised L$1,087,500 (US$4,248).
We’re proud of what we build together—and the impact we make for the causes we support.
