Tickets are nonrefundable. In the unlikely event that NOWF needs to be canceled, participants will be contacted to determine whether they want to donate the full amount of their event tickets/sponsorship to the Friends School Wish List or would like a full refund. The PA will refund 100% of the ticket price paid to those parents who request a refund. Even if the event is canceled, the Silent Auction will still be held online and all money raised will be donated to the school's Wish List.
