festa solidària

English translation: fundraising party

Other / Nepal fundraising event
Catalan term or phrase: festa solidària
"Veniu a gaudir de la Festa solidària pel Nepal!"

"El proper dissabte 20 de juny [the organisation] es celebrarà la Festa Solidària pel Nepal, organitzada conjuntament amb [another organisation]..."

"FESTA SOLIDÀRIA PEL NEPAL"

I know the word solidarity exists, but feel it is not used too much in regular English for fund-raising events ("L’objectiu és recaptar fons per poder ajudar als damnificats pel terratrèmol, tots els assistents podran col•laborar amb l’ajuda humanitària fent els seus donatius").

I want to strike a balance between being faithful to the original but not sounding like something that we would rarely use in everyday English...

Any thoughts?

Thanks
