Become a Table Captain

Table Captains serve a crucial role in the success of the Equality Awards. Each Table Captain buys their own individual ticket and strives to fill a table of 12 by selling tickets to friends, family, and co-workers. Table Captains are not financially obligated to buy all 12 tickets but are asked to try their very best!
