COVID Safety Recommendations
(Please Check Back Periodically for Updates)
As a breast health organization, the health and safety of all is our greatest priority. Given the ever-changing nature of the pandemic and the need to fundraise to provide the necessary social-emotional support for our members we have decided to host a hybrid Gala. The Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year and since we operate solely off the donations from sponsors and supporters, we need to keep our annual event (but of course do so with health and safety in mind). Here is what we are doing to protect YOU!
Mandating masks for all guests, staff, and volunteers. You will be able to remove your mask while eating and drinking.
Reducing the room capacity by over 50%.
Allowing guests to build their own tables at various quantities.
Physical distancing throughout the event.
In accordance with the Virginia Department of Health and the CDC Guidelines on COVID-19, H4TG will adhere to the recommended safety measures and oversight before and during the event. For the added health and safety of all our guests, we are inviting all to build your own tables. This way you decide who you wish to share your gala experience with in close proximity! Simply choose which table you wish and fill in all the names for each seat. You also have the option of watching the gala from the comfort and safety of your own home by purchasing a virtual ticket which will enable you receive a special Zoom link to attend. You can also invite friends and family to donate any amount and receive that link too! We are so excited to spend the evening with you!
Help us reach our goal by September 25th
The amount shown reflects all ways to lean in and will be updated based on activity from GalaBid on the night of the Gala.
