A Celebration Gala
FAQ

We can’t wait to celebrate with you! Below are answers to some frequently asked questions.

Guests and Tickets

I am a table sponsor. Do my guests need to purchase a ticket?
No. Your guests' tickets are covered with your sponsorship commitment.

When do you need the names and contact information of my guests?
To ensure your guests receive timely updates leading up to the event, we kindly ask to have all of your guests' names, cell phone numbers, email addresses and menu choice by August 1.

Why do you need an email address and a cell phone number?
Some of our event communications will be shared by email or text, including the parking vouchers. If your guest is uncomfortable sharing either forms of contact information, that is ok. They may rely on you to share event information.

What are the meal choices available?
All guests will select one of the following entrees when they RSVP.

  • King salmon over root vegetable puree with ancient grains (gluten free, dairy free)
  • Braised short rib over root vegetable puree with ancient grains (gluten free, dairy free)

Should I still send in my meal choice even if I don’t need to buy a ticket?
Yes, we are collecting meal choices from all guests and will need that choice by September 11, 2026.
