-
Why are tickets priced like this?
The PFLAG National 50th Anniversary Gala is an event to honor PFLAG’s 50 years of impact and raise critical funds for our lifesaving mission. We recognize that the high costs of producing such an event may make it inaccessible for some to attend. A recording will be provided after the event for those who wish to view the event.
PFLAG National will also hold several events throughout the year, including our 3rd annual Parent Day in May (virtually) and The 2023 PFLAG National Convention, in October in Washington, DC. We hope you will find an opportunity to participate in these and other events to celebrate our 50th anniversary throughout 2023.
-
I can’t attend the Gala. Will the event be live-streamed or recorded?
Unfortunately, we will not be able to live-stream the event, but a recording will be shared two weeks after the event, which you can view anytime.
-
What are your COVID protocols?
PFLAG National requires all attendees be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Proof of full vaccination by showing a vaccine card or clear photo of the card will be required for entrance.
While we are not requiring masks at this event, we ask that attendees be respectful of others wearing or not wearing a mask. Masks will be available to those who would like to wear them but might not have brought their own.
If you are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, were recently exposed to someone with COVID-19, or have tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you stay home to keep yourself and others safe.
As the COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving situation, PFLAG National reserves the right to update this policy as necessary before the event and will communicate changes to attendees and on this webpage.
