Q&A ABOUT THE VIRTUAL EVENT

Q & A QUESTIONS

WHAT IS A VIRTUAL HOUSE PARTY?

The virtual house party is a way for you to support Southern Christian Services’ mission in the comfort of your own home. As a sponsor, you will have a prepared meal, beverage of your choice, availability to an online auction, and an online link and/or DVD for the Bottom Line for Kids program. Depending on the level of sponsorship, you will receive an event package the week before that goes along with the virtual house party event. The event package includes a food voucher with specific instructions, a link and/or DVD for the Bottom Line for Kids program, beverages, and a gift provided by Southern Christian Services. Whether you are having an intimate family gathering, a few close friends, or a zoom call, that is completely up to you. Please feel free to launch your virtual house party anytime during September 17, 2020 through September 20, 2020.

WHAT IS A FOOD VOUCHER?

As a sponsor, you have a special meal that Bravo! will prepare for you, that you can pick up any day they are open and stage your very own “event” with friends and family, at the time of YOUR choosing! The menus are based on the size of the sponsorship level you purchased as your fundraising offering. All items will be packed in disposable to-go containers so you can transfer the items to serving dishes at your home. Reheating instructions will be provided where appropriate. A food voucher with the menu will be delivered to your home the week before the event. There will be specific details on how to order and all the arrangements.
