Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, euphoria will have additional handwashing and hand-sanitizing stations available at all events. Social distancing will be also encouraged throughout all events, and areas will be appropriately marked.
Tickets for euphoria 2021, which is scheduled for Sept. 16-19, will launch during euphoria Spring Fest.
Euphoria received nearly $1 million in Greenville County CARES Act Funding to take over management and execution of the Connect for Good GVL campaign and has tapped into its existing network of more than a dozen local restaurant partners to source and prepare the meals.
The program was launched in March 2020 when local software consulting company Advoco had to cancel its annual Connect conference. The business wanted to honor their catering contract with Table 301, so they still purchased the meals they would have as part of the conference and worked with community partners to distribute them to people in need.
Since launching, the initiative has gone onto work with dozens of partners and provided more than 130,000 meals since the pandemic began.
