When I buy my dinner ticket, the form asks if I want to save my credit card info to be used for onsite purchases at the Fremont event. Should I do this?
Yes, this saves time at event check-in and provides a contactless experience. On Nov. 19, 2022, your credit card will be charged only if you buy a raffle ticket, win an item at the silent auction, or donate to fund-a-need during the live auction. The Greater Giving system is secure and safe. Otherwise, when you check in, we will swipe your credit card.
What about COVID?
We are excited to celebrate and gather in person this year. For the safety and comfort of all of our guests, we kindly ask that you take a COVID antigen test within 24 hours of the event. Please stay home if you are not feeling well.
