Clover’s Harvest Moon Masquerade Benefit Dinner gathered supporters to celebrate and raise funds for its mission: educating children, strengthening families and building community.
Held Nov. 7 at Calcasieu, guests enjoyed a seasonal three-course dinner crafted by James Beard Award-winning Chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski. The evening’s signature cocktail, the Moonlight Elixir, was created by the Link Restaurant Group.
Entertainment by the popular ensemble Fever Candlelight Halloween set the mood as guests dined and mingled in support of Clover’s nationally accredited programs and essential services.
“The Harvest Moon Masquerade is more than a beautiful evening — it’s a celebration of Clover’s mission to educate children, strengthen families and build community,” said Keith Liederman, Ph.D., CEO of Clover. “We are honored to gather with our supporters for such a meaningful occasion, elevated by the exceptional talents of award-winning Chefs Donald Link and Stephen Stryjewski. Their artistry helps make this a truly unforgettable night in support of brighter futures across New Orleans.”
Clover, formerly Kingsley House, has been a cornerstone of support for New Orleans families since 1896.
Event co-chairs were Clover board members Lindsey Brower Beard and Carling Dinkler IV.
Fun Fact: Clover’s picturesque campus has been featured in several films, including “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Renfield.”
