Table Host with a Twist

The role of the Table Host with a Twist is critical to the success of the JDRF Hope Gala on Saturday, May 22, 2021. Please consider stepping up in this important way!

Roles and Responsibilities of a Table Host with a Twist: 

1. Host a gala watch party at the location of your choice. (Subject to local CDC guidelines and recommendations)
2. Invite friends and family (your Quarantine Crew) to watch the LIVE virtual JDRF South Carolina is Stronger Together Gala with you - it will be more fun together!
3. Provide food and drink for your guests. Here are some ideas:
   • Order takeout
