COVID-19 Policy and Precautions for Guests
Entry Requirements and Requests:
-
To ensure the health and wellbeing of our guests, MDF asks that guests ensure they test negative for COVID-19 within 24 hours of the event.
-
We ask that all attendees are up-to-date on their vaccinations & boosters, and take all appropriate precautions to stay COVID-free in the weeks and days leading up to the gala.
-
If you are feeling sick or test positive for COVID-19 within 24 hours of the event, or you've recently been exposed to COVID-19, please stay home and follow all other CDC guidelines regarding isolation and quarantine. Please contact MDF if there is any reason you will be unable to follow this policy or if you will not be able to attend due to a positive test.
Other Requests and Recommendations:

Risks and Policy Changes
The health and safety of our guests is MDF's top priority. We intend to follow all CDC, state, and local health guidelines and recommendations about social gatherings and will take any necessary measures to keep our community safe. Guests are encouraged to participate only to the extent that they feel comfortable and will ultimately be responsible for any risk involved in traveling or attending the gala.
If there are changes to CDC, state, and local health guidelines in the coming weeks, we may also need to alter our COVID-19 policy accordingly. Guests will be reminded of our COVID-19 policies before the event and notified of any changes that occur between now and November 11th.
