Prom 2011: A Prime Produce Open Benefit
Prime Produce launches its second annual Prom, an innovative event model benefiting multiple 501(c)3 not-for-profit organizations, this year in New York City and San Francisco.
November 19, 2011 -- Prime Produce, a New York City based 501(c)3 not-for-profit think-tank, is holding its second annual fall "Prime Produce Open Benefit" event, providing over 40 not-for-profit organizations with access to a creatively executed auxiliary fundraising and networking platform: The Prom. Taking place simultaneously in New York and San Francisco on the evening of November 19, young representatives and supporters of numerous charitable causes will don "black tie, formal wear, and zany costumes" to celebrate altruistic work and share resources at the Prom-themed cocktail and dance party. 100% of net proceeds from the event will be divided among participating organizations proportional to their attendance.
Having experimented with different event models since its conception in 2007, Prime Produce first hosted Prom in 2010. The all-volunteer team at Prime Produce designs, plans, and executes this event and invites any qualifying not-for-profit organization to leverage Prom as an auxiliary fundraising opportunity and networking platform. For organizations large and small, the event provides a risk-free stimulus boost, a chance to connect with similar organizations, and a fresh opportunity to access support networks while celebrating worthwhile causes. Prom is comprised primarily of young leadership from within the nonprofit sector and their immediate social networks.
Prom New York will take place from 8PM to 1AM in SoHo loft venue Safe Harbor.
Prom San Francisco will take place from 6PM to 10PM in the Mission district's Public Works.
Guests will enjoy an evening of food and drink (Stella Artois and Chipotle are national sponsors for the bi-coastal event, Bulldog Gin is an additional sponsor for NYC), a variety of photo opportunities ("Prom Photos"), a soundtrack presided over by Prime Produce's resident DJs, and special prom-themed events invented by Prime Produce's creative team. Prom also has media sponsorship from Flavorpill.
