usage of word "cause" in a fund raising auction
Hi, I have seen a note for a "Sponsored gift hamper Auction". The purpose of the auction money is to fund the event.
" A fund raising auction is planned on the day of celebration. We request all members to donate one gift to the hamper and participate generously in the auction to raise fund for this cause."
What I am wondering is about the choice of the word " this cause" at the end. For requirements in this type do we use " for this cause" OR " for this event". Which is the best or correct use? Alternate words can also be suggested.

Thanks a million enoon.
The purpose of the auction fund is to sponsor/cover the cost of the event celebration... Not a charity..so in this context, should we use the word "cause" or something else?
