@dallin "Bi-Annual Twice", "Annual-ish"? Technically I suppose it'd be 'Quarterly' but I feel that's lacking in panache ;)

We have simple terms for this in German:
Day-Night-Equality, Summer-Sun-Turn, Winter-Sun-Turn.

It's funny that you consider these Latin terms native English ๐Ÿ˜œ
Reminds me of when I talked to a little girl and said "rotate" and she looked funny because she only knew "turn".

So it's kindof 'The Sun Turn Celebration' - I like that :)

(Incidentally, my favourite German word is 'Totentanz' - it's such a jaunty sounding word for a fairly macabre subject)

@phelion @dallin
The celebration part would be the Sonnwendfeuer (SunTurnFire), where some make BIG fires and enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‰
Anyway, I think you'd need one catchy term like
Freedom Sunshine Fundraiser (FSF),
and paint it differently each quarter:
"The longest night ahead (northern hemisphere at least), the pockets of some projects are just as dim. While shopping for Xmas, think of them"
"Today, night and day are equal. Let's help those projects "in the dark" get equal funding."
"Rise and shine!" ...
