Catering

We will work with catering staff at any location to identify their ability to provide alternate food choices to accommodate: 

  • Allergies
  • Food sensitivities
  • Dietary preferences
  • Faith-based dietary adherence

Our online registration forms provide a section for participants to list their dietary requirements. We will also provide a secondary way for registrants to contact us after completing their registration to provide updated dietary requests.
