PNC Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Spring Hat Luncheon Returns

Brenasia Shaunice
With hats dusted off,  the crowd of supporters flocked to Highland Park for the PNC Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Spring Hat Luncheon.   It was the first time since 2019 that guests got together to celebrate Spring and Pittsburgh's beautiful parks.

It was a new Hat Luncheons with many patrons experiencing the elegance for the first time.  A new generation of philanthropic supporters attended the event, including  Elena LaQuatra and Brenasia Shaunice showing their support for our Pittsburgh Parks. 

The luncheon was a people-watching excursion with eclectic fashion, fabulous hats, and style.  Melanie Crockard sported an upcycled Goodwill purchase and Natalie Bencivenga wore a glamorous fascinator. 

White floral centerpieces designed by Hens and Chicks graced the beautifully appointed tables, with lunch served by The Common Plea.

Even with the less than ideal weather, the  Spring Hat Luncheon was back and sold out. The Hat Luncheon is the largest fundraiser for the Parks Conservancy and raised $550,000 for park improvements.
