Preservation Foundation Ball

On Saturday, Feb. 15, members and their guests donned their best dresses and tuxedos for an elegant night of cocktails, dinner, philanthropy and dancing at the Preservation Foundation Ball. The night began with a cocktail reception, followed by a presentation from President Cantwell. Next came a four-course meal prepared by Chef Bart consisting of favorites such as Waldorf-style lobster cocktail, prosciuttowrapped asparagus, seared foie gras, cinnamon hazelnut espresso tower and much more.

While attendees enjoyed a memorable evening in the grand Missouri Room, the mission of the event was kept at the front of everyone’s minds. The Preservation Foundation held the ball to honor and thank donors who have contributed to the exterior restoration, and raise the remaining funds needed to begin restoring the Downtown Clubhouse exterior. During the fund-a-need portion of the evening, members showed their overwhelming dedication and support for the preservation of the beloved and historic Clubhouse, raising enough to begin the project later this spring.

As the evening drew to a close, guests flooded the dance floor while the band FatPocket played upbeat tunes.

A most heartfelt thank you to Presenting Partners Todd and Lauren Keske as well as the Robert J. Trulaske Family Foundation, the Stifel Foundation and all who have donated to support this effort! For a full list of donors, please visit the website.
