Event Description

It's Friday the 13th, and what better night to celebrate the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Boston Young Professionals Association?!?!?

The 10th Anniversary Party of BYPA on Friday, April 13th is going to be dedicated to former BYPA Board Member Cynthia Badame's memory. The theme is "Night Circus - a Masquerade Ball". It will be at The Foundation Room. The colors are black, white, red. At midnight, we will have a moment of silence, and a black, white and red rose petal drop of 2,220 rose petals.

Other event notes: We are planning to hire a contortionist (and other acts), have people enter in a shower of bubbles, and other surprises are in store. Everyone will be asked to dress in black, white and red.

The first 200 people through the door will receive a beautiful Venitian Masquerade Mask as our gift to you for helping us celebrate our anniversary- in your choice of Black, Black and White or Black and Red to match your outfit.

All former Board members and those who were close to Cynthia (Chris, Amy, etc.) will be invited as Anne's guests, and asked to come together to pull the string for the drop.

Schedule so far:

8pm: Event begins

9pm: Contortion show

10pm: Contortion show

Way to go, Anne & the Board on putting together this great event. Again, CAN'T WAIT!

Comment by Krystal on April 12, 2012 at 3:53pm: If anyone reading needs an extra ticket for $20, let me know. That was my original purchase price since I did not know I had to read the comments to see if I had free entrance. Contact me via inbox message if anyone needs a ticket.

Comment by BostonYPA on April 12, 2012 at 1:29pm: Yes, Eli - you'll be fine with a suit!

Comment by BostonYPA on April 12, 2012 at 1:28pm: Hi Krystal - unfortunately, we cannot do refunds. We had placed a comment here back on the date we originally announced the free tickets (in March.) It has been erased and replaced with the comment below. The best we can suggest is to have one of your friends take one of your tickets. If you would like to change the name on the ticket you purchased, you can email us at events@bostonypa.com. Thanks, Anne

Comment by Eli Orkin on April 12, 2012 at 12:49pm: What, exactly, is "fancy" dress? I have a grey suit to wear, but I don't have a tux w/ tails or a tophat. I'm guessing I'll be granted entry w/ the suit.

Comment by Josh B on April 12, 2012 at 12:36pm: I've also got an extra ticket now. Ping me if you want it but you better dress fancy to earn it.

Comment by Krystal on April 12, 2012 at 11:50am: Hi. I am on the list of people free to attend but I wasn't made aware of that until just now so I had already purchased my ticket. Can someone please advise on how I go about getting a refund? It would have been nice to know beforehand that I was one of the first 50rsvps. Thank you!

Comment by BostonYPA on April 12, 2012 at 5:01am: PS - if anyone on these lists is NOT planning to attend, please let us know ASAP so someone else can take your spot. We only have 24 tickets left! This event is going to be SOLD OUT soon.
