boy, i've only been on here for like a week and i just keep coming with the posts!
anyway, friends and family of mine are trying to organize a fundraiser (maybe more than one) to help defray all these ridiculous medical costs.
i am very fortunate to have lots of resources to tap into for this (i work at a music school that has probably one of the best concert halls, acoustics-wise) and also many musician friends who volunteered to entertain. quite a few prizes offered to do a raffle (cubs tickets, sox tickets, chefs tables at top restuarants, etc)
beign that i went to art school, i also have many artists donating art, photos/ etc. to be raffled off as well.
i'm so overwhelmed, flattered, amazed at the outpouring of support that's come from this (it really just enforces how many paths you've crossed in your life...it's incredible)
thing is, they were going to start a bank acct for any donations and ticket sales to go to, and in addition were going to have flyers and such printed for the event (date to be determined later this week, but sometime late july, early august). also a friend is setting up a webpage where raffle tickets, etc can be sold before hand.
Problem is, i don't have a name!!
i mean, the little smartgroups board that was started to keep all of us connected is called BeccaFest (but more as a joke) i can't put that on the flyer as the name...
we had a big meeting monday and all said we'd try and think of something and when we all meet again in two weeks get something decided.
i thought (for purposes of flyers) it should be something like "celebration of life: a fundraiser for Rebecca..blahblah blah" kinda thing
being that i'm young, and mostly involved in hip hop and world music, and that i'm a martial arts practitioner, someone thought "Kicking Cancers Ass" or something similar. but i was wondering would that put others off (say, older people, parents of friends, nuns from my high school, etc)
has anyone done something like this? can anyone give me helpful advice in figuring out what to call this?
Thanks!!
