		<title>Question: Name a fundraiser night for cancer treatments</title>
		<link>http://ask.metafilter.com/42071/Name-a-fundraiser-night-for-cancer-treatments</link>	
		<description>Help me come up with a witty name for a fundraising night for a friend&apos;s Herceptin (Trastuzumab) treatments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This is a follow-up to &lt;a href=http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/35878&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; question.  Quick background: a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.  She&apos;s currently having neo-adjuvant chemo, to be followed by surgery, and then &lt;a href=http://www.herceptin.com/herceptin/patient/index.jsp&gt;Herceptin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In Australia, Herceptin is &lt;a href=http://www.bcna.org.au/cms/details.asp?NewsID=560&gt;expensive&lt;/a&gt;.  It is being considered for government subsidy, but in the meantime are group of her friends including myself are raising money for her treatments when they start.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
We&apos;ve organised a fundraiser night and booked a venue, but need a name for the event: something apposite, memorable, funny and/or irreverent without being demeaning (although bear in mind we&apos;re Australians, so broad wit goes over well).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I won&apos;t even list the suggestions I&apos;ve come up with so far; I fear their sheer, overpowering godawfulness might actually strangle the creative output of other people.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.venues.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi/loadvenue?ID=114&amp;SID=0&quot;&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; is the venue, bleucube.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Great suggestions, by the way.</description>

You are now number 439753782 on the list of people who need to die horribly for perpetuating that song.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
However, it &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; a good idea.</description>
