My Fundraiser Needs a Name

There is a lot to do between now and october 21 (tentative date) in order to prepare for a successful fundraiser. As I mentioned previously, my goal is to raise a minimum of $10,000 for Global Relief and Development Partners (www.grdpartners.org). My scheduled departure date for Kigali, Rwanda is December 11, 2009.

I'm in the process of organizing a small planning committee who are working to help make this dream a reality, but I need your help too.

I need a catchy name for my fundraiser!


The premise of this event is an art & cocktail evening with all proceeds donated to Global Relief and Development Partners. The event is 100% volunteer driven and my goal is to introduce art enthusiasts to the wide range of talent within Toronto and the surrounding areas, and allow collectors to appreciate art in an atmosphere different from a gallery setting. I want a balance somewhere between fine art and good fun.

At the end of the evening, each guest will walk away with one piece of art which has been generously donated by very talented artists.

To submit your name suggestion, please comment below, post it on facebook or send me an email to artforafricainfo (at) ymail.com

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your help!
