Donate $100: A ticket for the person to NOT ONLY skip the ball, but also miss the fancy cocktail party before the main event.
Donate $250: A ticket for the lucky guest to skip the ball, miss the cocktail party, AND forget to attend the VIP afterparty.
Donate $500: The ball gets moved to your house.
Donate $1,000 or more: You will be crowned Remington Royalty at the party that you’re not attending and get a special invitation to NOT come to next year’s April Fool’s Day Ball!
