Howdy all. Hoping to strike upon some creative chords for a good cause. My 16U summer squad wants to do a breast cancer awareness fundraiser this season. Our goal is to raise funds through a season-long "hit"-related fundraiser. Similar to home-run derbies or "hit-a-thons", our goal is to get sponsors (individuals/businesses) for either flat donations or to provide donations per hit our team records through our season (e.g. $0.10/hit, $0.25/hit, etc). We are also planning on selling t-shirts as well that have designs already created. We will then collect all funds (shirt and game-related), pool the funds, and make a donation on behalf of the team to a cancer-related organization of our collective choosing (ACS, SGK, etc.)
One of my colleagues and mentors (and a big reason I got into coaching softball) passed away in January 2018 from breast cancer after nearly a 15 year fight, and I've been looking for an appropriate way to help raise awareness and also honor her and others like her in an appropriate manner. I want to use it as a moment to show my girls there's always something bigger than the game of softball, and to show them how if they want to reach a goal, they have to work hard for it. The harder they work, the more they can achieve in a great cause.
While still in the initial phases of planning, where I really need help is in coming up with a creative, alliterative name for this fundraiser that we can put on our shirts. I've thought of some slogans like "Bats for the Battle" or "Cuts for a Cure", but I'm curious what others might have that could be just as creative (I'm no creative guru at all). Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
