Allendale’s Après Ski–themed fundraiser transformed Conway Farms Golf Club on the North Shore into the buzzing world of the French Alps, drawing inspiration from Val d’Isère. Hosted by the Allendale Women’s Board, the evening unfolded with theatrical surprises, including fire dancers and illuminated dancing robots. Veuve Clicquot flowed alongside espresso martinis, paired with a menu by chef Paul Kahan of One Off Hospitality, whose team fired off gourmet pizzas in outdoor ovens. Then came a surprise set from Twista, snapping the crowd into overdrive with “Overnight Celebrity,” “Slow Jamz” and “Let’s Go.” Produced by ESP Presents with Packaging Corporation of America as presenting sponsor, the second iteration of the Alpine-themed fête set a new fundraising record, bringing in nearly $270,000 to support the children educated and cared for at Allendale.
