34th Annual Forest Park Forever Hat Luncheon

The Hat Luncheon has been our nonprofit conservancy’s largest annual fundraiser for 34 years. It is a vibrant and joyous event that financially supports our work in Forest Park. While our crews are still clearing ground and aerial hazards after the May 16 tornado, on June 5, we paused for joy. 

The 34th annual Hat Luncheon raised over $400,000 to support annual maintenance and restoration in Forest Park.

It was empowering to share our love, work and passion for Forest Park with our community! Thank you to our sponsors, Hat Contest judges, partners and all the fashionable attendees of the 34th annual Hat Luncheon. We are grateful for the leadership of event co-chairs, Leslie Gill and Ali Hogan, and our Mistress of Ceremonies, Carol Daniel.
