ROM’s Young Patrons’ Circle hosts Fifth Annual Fundraiser on March 27, 2010
The Young Patrons’ Circle (YPC) at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) invites you to a thrilling night of dark glamour and cinematic fantasy for PROM Noir, the YPC’s fifth annual fundraiser taking place Saturday, March 27, 2010.
Inspired by the Museum’s captivating collection of winged creatures from the soon-to-be newly re-vamped Bat Cave, PROM Noir will welcome hundreds of YPC members and guests for a sensational step back into old Hollywood, in the era of private eyes and femmes fatales. Experience the drama of a dazzling Golden Age film première - with a contemporary twist - as you pose for a mob of flashbulbs on the black carpet and shimmy the night away on a fierce dance floor to the sounds of a Big Band and stellar Toronto DJ.
As darkness falls, revellers can investigate tempting diversions in hidden corners or sink back into sleek lounges in the Museum’s shadows. VIP ticket-holders enjoy special access to a private viewing of the new Bat Cave during Earth Hour, followed by a decadent tasting menu paired with bold wines. The star treatment continues with private access to the Green Room Lounge Bar throughout the PROM party.
PROM Party tickets (doors open 9 pm) are $125 each for YPC members, $150 for non-members. VIP Tickets are $275 each for YPC member, $295 for non-members, and include exclusive access beginning at 8 pm. For information on exclusive Patron Packages, please call 416.586.8064. Those joining YPC before PROM will receive special member pricing. PROM Noir tickets go on sale starting January 27, 2010. Visit www.rom.on.ca/prom after this date to purchase tickets.

Launched in November 2005, the Young Patrons’ Circle provides unique access to the ROM and the opportunity to meet other young professionals from diverse career, social and business circles—all sharing in their enthusiasm for the ROM. Currently, there are over 350 YPC members. While many members are in their 30's, this group consists of patrons from 19 through 45. Giving levels for YPC are $600 for a Single membership (one ROM Membership card), and $1,000 for a Dual (two ROM Membership cards). Partial tax receipts are issued at any gift level above $600. There are special member rates for those who have been in school full-time in the past 12 months.
Proceeds from PROM Noir support ROM priorities, including the ROM School Visits Bursary Program. This program offers students from various disadvantaged communities within the Toronto District School Board the opportunity to visit the Museum and participate in an educational program free of charge.
