COVID-19 Protocols

Throughout the pandemic and at all times, Sonrisas Dental Health takes patient, staff and community health very seriously.  As a nonprofit health care provider in San Mateo County we implemented many safety practices during the pandemic to ensure the well being of staff and patients alike.  Things have shifted somewhat in the course of the pandemic and we are grateful to be able to come together in a largely outdoor and well ventilated space for the gala.

 

If you are experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus including fever, cough, or shortness of breath or if you have been in close contact with someone that has had COVID-19 recently, we respectfully ask you not to enter the event.

 

To request a refund for your ticket please email Maura at mhsieh@sonrisasdental.org although we would be most grateful to consider your ticket a donation to help us ensure that the most vulnerable members of our community have access to free or low cost dental care.

 

Masks are not required, but masks and hand sanitizer will be available at check-in.

 

Secure Credit Card Processing

Auction software provider School Auction is certified Level 1 PCI (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant, the highest and most secure level for PCI compliance, thereby ensuring that your data is protected and that all credit card processing is secure.
