Need A Catchy Unique Name For A First Time Event!

Posted by Anonymous on 6/29/2010 at 7:52 PM ET 250 Points
I work for a non-profit organization and our mission is to promote strong and healthy families. We do this through parenting classes, support groups, teen focus series, in home services, children and youth services. Our main funding is through state and federal grants and we are wanting to build our donor base and establish corporate relationships and sponsorships. we are having our first ever event, feb 2011. We are having a night for adults, we have Dueling Pianos, and local popular band, we will have heavy horderves, drinks, and a raffle. We are planning to commit to this event for at least 3 years - hopefully will be successful and an anual event. We are stuck with the name - not sure we want to be committed to having the same entertainment type each year ... any suggestions would be AWESOME!! Thank You!

    What is the name of your organization? Do you want to brand your event with your organization's name or do you want something unrelated (and why)?

    Family Directions of Iowa. We are open to the name being related to what we are about, families, and also to it being just a clever name. Example... we have thought... DUET for Families (although this means we would have to keep with same entertainment - getting dueling pianos again.) Also thought Keys for a Cause, again would have to keep with pianos. We want a name that will be remembered and for each year they look for to that night, the event. Regardless of name we will tie in marketing pieces with what we do.

    Thinking along the lines of something like... Family Directions "Date Night". We don't want to limit to couples... singles are welcome too. Our favorite idea was.. Family Directions "Black and White" Night, we could have fun with marketing with piano keys, dress attire, drinks. However... one of our performers, lead singer in band, is African American and didn't want it to accidentally offend someone, we definitely didn't pick our entertainment due to race to go with a theme. Not sure if we are over thinking this... we have no doubt this event is going to be amazing! Along with raising community awareness and making new connections! Would like the name to be just as amazing! :) Thanks for any input!
