Frequently Asked Questions
What will the Community Supper be like?
When you arrive, there will be a social hour where you’ll have a chance to catch up with friends, purchase a Golden Ticket for a chance to win a live auction item as well as an opportunity to play the Heads and Tails game during the program and more. Mix and mingle with other guests and have some complimentary beer or wine from the bar!
After that, you’ll be asked to have a seat at your dinner table and the program will begin. While you eat dinner, you’ll hear inspirational stories, be able to bid on live auction items and learn more about North by Northeast. Once the program is over, stick around for music, dancing and more mingling!
The event will be a celebration of our mission and an opportunity for you to say Black Health Matters.
