A friend of mine is organizing the Coca Cola event, and that thing looks like it's going to be pretty damned huge. I was brainstorming with the director of one of the organizations that I am involved in at lunch, and I think that we could throw a pretty fun fundraising event to coincide with the weekend, but I wanted to make sure that people wouldn't be distracted with the influx of out-of-town type events.

Your success will depend on your target audience and type of event. Are you aiming to attract out-of-town people or local people?
There are a lot of parties and a lot of people clamoring for attention, so you need a fantastic hook to get people to pick you. It also helps if you have a very famous athlete involved. You could also partner with a group reknowned for their functions -- then people will show because they recognize the promoter, dj, club, pr link, etc.

Edited to add: semi-famous athletes will show up if you pay their appearance fee. Unless you are friends with the very famous athlete, you might end up having to pay em, too.
