Dear jsd03,

"I need a catchy name for a fundraiser".

No. You don't. You need a RELEVANT name.

You need a name that's SIGNIFICANT.

And you need a name that connects with your audience.

Gary's right. Catchy isn't the goal here. You want a name that will make people want to shell out money and support the event ... maybe even bring friends, spread the word, get involved.

Forget catchy. Try for effective.

The one thing you can do to help us help you is figure out what criteria you're going to use to pick a name ... assuming we come up with half a dozen good ones. If we know how you are going to pick a winner, it will help us get the right name for you.

Also, it might be good to refer to the city/town/region where this is going to happen. If we can include that in the name it will remind people that their money is helping people right in their community, not somewhere else.

Example:

A Gourmet Dinner & Fund Raiser
to Help The Elm City Homeless


P.S. The menu is irrelevant. This isn't a restaurant ad.

Wow. A menu of a bowl of soup and slice of bread worked wonders in our market -- low cost and the stark reality of message delivered garnered lots press, coporation involvement (voluneers) and lots of $$ for the homeless.

Best of luck

I am organizing a fundraising craft show for Autism Awareness and am having a rather difficult time coming up with a name for this event
