Need A Name For "stop Hunger Among Our Seniors" Fundraiser

Posted by dmoorevents on 1/12/2015 at 2:05 PM ET 250 Points
The Verde Valley Senior Center is a non-profit org. Serving Meals-on-Wheels to nearly 60,000.00 senior citizens a year. Approximately 72% are unable to pay for their food.
We are holding a dinner, dance and silent auction fundraiser in April. The theme of the event is "magical, pull a rabbit out of the hat, wave a magic wand, fairy tail" type of event. I need a catchy, heart felt name for this event. It's going to be an elegant dinner, cocktail hour, great band, pictures taken, silent auction and a regular raffle.
This name needs to pop! And bring in the money! Maybe something with "Angels, Wings, Are next meal depends on you" type thing. And if you have any ideas that might help generate more money at this event I would love to hear from you. Thank you for your help. Debbie
Please help! Thank you!

    We hold fundraisers all the time. Some are successful and some are not. I need to know how to get the people to want to come to these events and spend their money. I need new ideas. I am hoping some new great ideas.

    Appeal to donor's emotions. Ask them to imagine the recipient is someone they know and love. Drive home the hardship and how it's felt and experienced. Tell real stories and use compelling sales copy that tugs at the heart strings.

    This all assumes you are known in the region you hope to pull from.
    Name (simple, for advertising)-

    Make the Magic

    Tagline (provides a tiny bit of mystery and the strong tug)-

    Will You Make the Magic Happen?
