At Best Buddies, our priority is to protect the health and well-being of our participants and supporters. In this effort, Best Buddies will be requiring all event attendees to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result within 72 hours of entrance to the event. If you are fully vaccinated, you may provide proof of vaccination instead of a negative test.
Know Before You Go
Entry Requirements:
Acceptable forms of proof are an original, printed, or digital copy of your negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result. If you choose to provide proof of vaccination instead of a negative test, digital or printed forms will both be accepted.
Mitigating Risk:
All Best Buddies events will comply with CDC’s guidance and local mandates in regards to mitigating COVID-19 risks at events including but not limited to face coverings, social distancing, and hygiene/sanitation requirements.
Contactless Check-in:
Go mobile! All events will offer contactless check-in and auction participation.

We encourage you to join us however you feel most comfortable. In addition to our online auction, many events will offer other opportunities for virtual participation.
