Name help

We are having a benefit concert to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness and Education and are having a really hard time coming up with a name.
It cannot say "for the cure" though.
Help please!

Zeta is Forever <3

Why can't it say for the cure? I thought Susan G Komen owned that phrase.

sgk used to be our national philanthrophy and we still sponsor the survivor tents at the race for the cures, plus items for survivors, but sometime in the last few years we were told that our national philanthrophy is now breast cancer awareness and education.i don't know the reason why.

"think pink" is ours-maybe you could use that in your title for the concert? i think you would have get permission from i.o.

I've seen fundraisers with names like "Save the Tatas", so why not try to be creative? "Music for Mammaries"? "Rock for Racks"?

At Ole Miss the ZTA Area Alumnae sponsor something called "The Care Walk." All sororities and fraternities participate in the event each year.

Save the tatas is also copyrighted. How about PINK OUT 2010, or Think Pink! Save Lives!

It was my understanding that we moved to "Breast Cancer Education and Awareness" so we could sponsor more research, local events and give our chapters more options for service. (also expand other relationships like the NFL, yoplait, etc)

That's an entry from your friendly local mammographer

This just reminded me... My alma mater is actually putting on an event called the "Breasticle Testicle Festival" (and a bunch of the Greeks are helping to put it on), which will include a lot of fun activities and raise awareness about both breast and testicular cancer.

You could always just call it "Breasticle Festival"

Each year my university has Breastival in the Fall to promote breast cancer education and awareness - Zeta Tau Alpha is heavily involved, they sponsor it in coalition with the Student Health office. My chapter volunteers with Testival in the spring to promote testicular cancer education and awareness. Last year we worked with Kappa Sigma to raise money to help with the hospital bills of a biological brother of one of their brother's who was suffering from testicular cancer.

Needless to say, the t-shirts are awesome. My favorite has a squirrel on it and says, "Check your nuts!"

Oh my gosh yall are great!
Our PP told us that we can't say anything about Boobs aka: tatas breasts "second base" so it kinda limits us.
I thought of "Zeta Tau Alpha's Royal Rock & Roll"
and have a crown on top with a pretty pink ribbon weaved throughout the wording
