What is the best way to promote an event for disaster relief?

Hi guys, although I am not new to sl, some of the cairity events I have attnded have been poorly attended.  I am wondering if it is due to lack of publicity, or lack of intrest.  

Can you guys give me some tips to making a fund raising event a huge success as we need quite a bit of money.  Are there certain cubs, or venues that are mroe geared towards fund raising events?  If I have an event on my land, what are some of the things I need to consider to publisize the event so it is well attended?  

The event would go directly to those in Colorado USA that have been displaced by the fire. Hundreds of homes have been lost, and thousands of acres burned.  The 2 most devestaing fires are High Park and Waldo Canyon.  I want to set up a sl fund to accept donations to help the victims of these fires.  I have friends that are directly affected and 100% of proceeds would go to t

Send a note card to different SL bloggers and hope they post something about it, I guess. Ask merchants you know well to put out a collection box. That's what most people raising funds do, I think, but I don't know for sure. There are a lot of charities asking for money in SL, but you probably know that.
