Below are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about DDA.  If you have a question which isn't answered below, please contact Kari Ferguson (kferguson@hfcschool.org).

• What is the attire for DDA 2025?
   Dress up or dress down!  The vibe for the night is a beautiful garden party, but there's definitely not a dress code.  If you're in the mood for a cocktail dress and heels, we'd love to have you!  If you're in the mood for jeans and a sweater (it's February, after all), then we'd love to have you, too!  

• Will I receive a physical ticket?
  There are no physical tickets.  Please make sure you receive your receipt when you purchase online. 

• Where is DDA 2025 being held?
  The DDA is held at the Hall at 520, located at 520 East North Street, Decatur, Illinois. 

• How do I check in?
  You may check in online using contactless check in, or you may check in when you arrive at the Hall at 520.  You will need to receive your bidding paddle and program upon arrival at the Hall at 520, regardless of your check in method. 

• Can I participate in the auction even if I cannot attend DDA in person? 
  While you cannot bid on live auction items, you can bid on silent auction items, and purchase Golden Tickets, Dress Down Passes, and chances to win a trip to Mexico online!
