WHAT IS VIC?
When you choose to register and pay as a VIC attendee you are choosing to support The Black Marriages Movement Seattle Fall Ball as a co-sponsor. This is NOT a business venture so we appreciate your partnership in making this special experience happen. We appreciate the VIC for their service to the Black Marriage Movement Mission and helping to make the Seattle Fall Ball 2019 possible.
VICs help offset the overall cost of the event to help make the event affordable for all. Simply put, VICs pay more so others can pay less.
A VIC Sponsor is DIFFERENT than a VIP package that other events have and therefore the additional financial contribution does not pay for extra goodies for the VIC, rather it pays for an opportunity for others to participate in the Seattle Fall Ball who otherwise would not be able.
VIC attendees are seated at designated tables in the front of the Ballroom (if they prefer) and their personal names are listed or posted as co-sponsors.
We hope that our VIC Sponsors take away a deep sense of pride in knowing that they were able to help make the Seattle Fall Ball celebration for Black Marriages possible.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are with a table host who isn’t a VIC Table Host you will need to decide if you rather sit at their table or at a V.I.C. Table.
Table Host – If you are planning to sit at a table with a Host who is a VIC Table Host please select the VIC payment option.
The Black Marriage Movement and the Seattle Fall Ball targets marriages between one man and one woman, where at least one spouse identifies as African American or Black. While we recognize that there are many types of Black Love in our community this event is focused on serving the unique needs of this specific target group at this time. If you identify with this group we hope you consider attending.
REMINDER: You must be married to attend – UNLESS you have special approval from an event committee member. Please send your request for approval and reason for wanting to attend to in**@th**********************.org
**If you cannot register or have challenges making your payment? Call/Text 206.9926857 or email Se*************@Th**********************.org to ask for assistance with registering. We can have a team member register you over the phone!

- If you miss the deadline, we will hold your seats until May 1st after May 1; we can no longer hold your seats without a special arrangement agreement. If the event sells out or closes and we don’t have your payment, and there isn’t a plan, we assume it is a donation and you aren’t planning on attending. So please stay in contact.
