AT THE EVENT

What is the dress code for the evening?

2021 is the year of Anything Goes! Since you will join us from the comfort of your home, your attire is a personal choice. Just make sure you are camera ready! If you are Hosting a Watch Party, consider a suggested attire for your guests.

How/when do I sign in for the virtual event?

A separate email with log on instructions will be sent the week ahead of the event. You are encouraged to trial log on to ensure all the connections/applications are working correctly for your set up (desktop, laptop, smart TV, etc.). Tech help will be available during the event by email, phone, and/or chat.

How do I Host a Watch Party?

Gather your small group of socially distanced friends/family to enjoy the HEARTBEATS & HEROES at home program together in your home, or from multiple locations. You’ll be the host of a dedicated virtual “room”, and your guests will be connected to that space. Your “room” will then be connected to the larger event. Program emcees, auctioneers, and others may pop into your room to visit during the evening.

How long is the program?

The VIP Reception begins at 5:30 PM. The main program runs from 6:00-7:00 PM. A detailed schedule of the evening will be posted on the event website and noted in the mailed programs.
