How the heck does this work?
The Taste is a two-device event. So, if you have a smart TV or a laptop or tablet or phone that can access YouTube, you have your first device. We’ll be streaming the concert and event at the code we will email to you.
This code is your “Event Ticket.”
If you have purchased a meal, each box comes with two tickets. Feel free to share your code with your ticketed allotment of folks. If they would like to take part in the event post-concert, they just need to make a donation of any amount to the Helpline when the Taste starts to be system ready to bid.
(If they would like to play BINGO see that section below)
To give money at any point during the event you will use a second device (usually a phone, but a laptop works to), on our event’s page. You’ll want to keep the page open during the event. You should automatically receive an email acknowledging your donation. If you bid multiple times, you’ll get multiple emails. These emails will come from the donation platform -Flipcause- and not directly from the Helpline and may not make it through your spam filter.
Don’t worry, we will send you an easy break down, post-event, of your transactions in an independent email.
DINNER (yum)
With your ticket code you will receive your pickup time and location. Please adhere to it.
The times are staggered to keep your meal hot on delivery and as not to overwhelm the restaurant staff.
You will see a visible Helpline volunteer or two next to the pick-up location. Give them your name and you will receive a banker’s box with your order(s), beverages, and BINGO supplies. It will be clearly marked with your name and contents and double-checked so you can settle in at home for the festivities.
BINGO!
A digital version of the game with all the old school fun. You will receive a packet of cards with your meal box and a dauber (aka BINGO marker). Will have a computer spin ball kettle till someone BINGOs. The BINGO Jackpot prizes get bigger as the night goes on. When you BINGO send a photo of your card to [email protected] and we will certify you a winner. BINGO kits will be available day-of at all pickup locations. You can pay with cash, check or on location using the donation platform on our event site.
The price per kit is $100.
Paddle Raise
When prompted by your host, you will be able to use a preset amount to easily, automatically, donate to the paddle raise, as soon as we get the email acknowledgement, we will acknowledge your donation. If can include a message with a challenge to others. Just include a message upon your checkout.
You’ll be able to see it on the recent activity portion of the event page.
Rock & Roll
We are so fortunate to have an exclusive, unplugged set from Seattle band The Black Tones.
It will air prior to (5:30 pm) and after the gala.
