Event Description
Thank you to our Chair, Shelly Stayer, to the Sustaining Leadership Council, and to all who celebrated and supported our springtime splash on Wednesday, March 29! Hats in the Garden celebrated 19 years of millinery, fashion, and the beauty of Naples Botanical Garden with a champagne celebration, extraordinary luncheon, and one-of-a-kind runway show featuring world-renowned fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. This year was one to remember with nearly 700 guests in attendance and a record-breaking $2.65 million raised!
