Event Name Needed For Fundraiser!

Posted by badley on 2/21/2014 at 1:18 PM ET 250 Points
I am looking for name suggestions for a fundraising gala for the American Diabetes Association. This event will be in Spartanburg, SC in November. For a number of years we had a gala in Spartanburg called The Sugar Ball. That event last took place in 2012 and we would like to relaunch with a new name. The event features, dinner, dance/band , live and silent auction. Depending on the title we can theme the event to match by adding additional types of entertainment etc.. We have also considered branding it as The Stop Diabetes Gala... with a new Tag line/theme each year. I appreciate any thoughts you have.

Sincerely,
Brigitte

    The Insulin Drip [ hmmm ... not quite ... but it'll do for a start ]

    The Type 1 & Type 2 Ball

    1 + 2 = Diabetes

    "Stop Diabetes Gala" is used by another (MN) group, so you may cause some unintended confusion. If you add "Spartanburg" to the name, it'll help make it clear who you're serving.

    You could tie the name of the gala to a nickname of your city (The Hub City, or Sparkle City, or The Burg) - "Sparkle With Diabetes", for example.

    Why did you stop using the name "The Sugar Ball"? Although Jay raises a good point about a duplicate name the distance between the two organizations ought to be enough to not make the same name an issue.
