Help Me Think Of A Clever/Cute Name

I'm looking for suggestions for a yard sale that our community is holding for a local charity.

The charity is KTF - Keep the Faith Foundation for Kids

We are currently have a million pennies challenge called Pennies from Heaven.

Any ideas for the name of the yard sale?

Nothing with "junk" in it or "trash" like Junktique, etc.

Thanks so much!!!

Honestly, as a mom of a kid whose kid is in remission w/ cancer-don't sugar coat it w/ some cutsie name. Just use your charity's name. Is there a special child you are honoring? If so, possibly work that child's name into it. Cancer isn't cute. Just call it like it is...
And I do think it's amazing what you and your community are doing!!!! Big hugs out to all of you!

Thanks for the reply.

I was looking for a name that would attract a lot of people and describe what it is.

KTF Not for Profit Community Yard Sale -- not too *cute* but it does tell what you are doing! I agree with Linnybop about not going to cutesie on it...

At the bottom of your signs, put something like:
"All proceeds will go to non-profit KTF - Kids Foundation for Kids with Cancer, 501(c)(3).
Donations accepted at XXX-XXXX (phone number).
Receipt available by request."

People like to see the 501... part for tax write-off reasons but only if the foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization?

Make sure that you have the name of *KTF* correct. It doesn't match with what you have put in your post -- not sure what the *T* stands for? You know what I mean?! I googled KTF and got "Kids Tennis Foundation"!

That is very admirable that you all are doing this. If your community is doing it for a specific child, will you let the public know? I'd be very careful about putting the child's name on signs. Privacy issues.

Just some ideas that popped into my head! I hope that your yard sale makes a lot of money for KTF. Yea!

How about something with the key words "One yard at a Time"

For example:
Please support our yard sale benefiting the Kids Foundation for Kids with Cancer.
We're striving to make gains, one yard at a time.

or

We'll be measuring our success, one yard at a time.

I'm not real good with football terms, but maybe you could make the posters look like a football field having a "goal" (goalpost) in mind for the amount of money that you hope to raise.
