With black-tie glamour and philanthropic spirit, the ROM Immortal Gala raises over $1 million for the museum’s iconic fashion and textile collection. The ROM Immortal Gala: The Art of Fashion was an unforgettable evening that beautifully celebrated creativity, culture, and generosity. Hosted inside the luxurious Park Hyatt hotel, the evening brought together the worlds of art, fashion and philanthropy for a truly extraordinary night. Guests arrived in style and black-tie elegance, which set the tone for the event and paid respect to the stories and craftsmanship behind it.
The Gala achieved an incredible milestone this year, raising over $1 million in support of the ROM’s celebrated collections, exhibitions, and educational programs. These funds will play a crucial role in preserving and boosting one of the world’s most significant fashion and textile collections, a global archive recording centuries of design innovation and cultural heritage. With the generous support from attendees these objects will continue to inspire generations to come.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the inaugural ROM Immortal Award to Suzanne Rogers to recognize her immeasurable contributions to philanthropy and fashion. Her award added a moving note to a night that emphasized the powerful collaboration between giving and creativity.
The Immortal Gala illuminated the beauty of fashion and collective generosity, demonstrating that when people work together they can make a big difference. With this year’s huge success, excitement is already in the air for the 2026 ROM Immortal Gala, which hopes to touch hearts, inspire others, and raise money to support the ROM once more.
