Royal Ontario Museum celebrates Chinese and Brazilian cultures at event for housing charity

Decorated with jewels, vibrant colours and feathers, the Royal Ontario Museum transformed on May 4 into a lively showcase for Chinese and Brazilian culture at the inaugural UNMET Gala. Influenced by the backgrounds of co-chairs Krystal Koo and Fernanda Dovigi, the event, presented by Rogers, celebrated diversity, as more than 450 business and philanthropic leaders gathered to support the affordable-housing provider WoodGreen Community Services. Guests were asked to “come as you are,” to reflect their values and heritage. The evening of fashion, food and entertainment collected over $1.5 million for WoodGreen’s UNMET Needs Campaign.

The UnMet gala at the ROM featured Brazilian samba dancers.
