*All Sponsorships include a determined number of “tickets,” which entitles each of their guests to receive dinner and a bottle of wine, party favors, and access to silent auction and virtual celebration. Dinner, wine, and party favors are available to local attendees only. Sponsors are not obligated to host guests and each guest may pick up or arrange delivery of their meal, wine, and party favors. The event is virtual via Zoom, so sponsors may provide “tickets” to out-of-town guests to join in the silent auction and virtual celebration. All sponsors will have the opportunity to “see” their guests during a virtual happy hour thirty minutes before the event start.
To receive recognition in the invitation, program and other printed materials, payment must be received by Wednesday, January 20, 2021.
