A marquee Palm Beach luncheon returns to Mar-a-Lago on December 17, 2025, with H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe presiding as royal emcee for an elegant afternoon produced by legendary organizer and member host Lexye Aversa to benefit A Safe Haven for Newborns.
The Holiday Cabaret Luncheon has grown into a destination event anchored by purpose and prestige, and this eighth annual edition continues that standard as top charity of Palm Beach at this years location The Mar-a-Lago Club Balroom in Palm Beach. The day gathers benefactors, arts patrons, and international friends for a refined celebration with a singular mission: supporting the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation’s A Safe Haven for Newborns, the Florida-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting infants and assisting pregnant women in crisis.
His Highness and Excellency Global Peace Ambassador Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe returns to the stage as royal celebrity emcee, a role he has embraced with poise and enthusiasm across multiple years in Palm Beach. His presence sets the tone for a guest list that includes dignitaries, philanthropists, and cultural leaders who view the luncheon as both a holiday tradition and a meaningful way to contribute to life-saving work. He uses his experience as a working Royal, award winning TV- and Event-Host, Bertelsmann Randomhouse author, Public Speaker and Philanthropist to support the great cause of Lexye’s event. Prince Mario-Max is the son of Royal Dignitaries H.H. Dr.h.c. Prince Waldemar and H.H. Dr. Princess Antonia of Schaumburg-Lippe. His Grandmother is H.R.H. Princess Feodora of Denmark. Therefore they are the Royal Danish Nachod Line of The Princes of Schaumburg-Lippe, the Founding Family of Hamburg, Lübeck and Kiel.
Producer and chairperson Lexye Aversa is again the creative force guiding the luncheon’s design and experience. Under her great direction, the amazing program blends a gourmet meal with cabaret entertainment, a live auction, and a curated silent auction that spotlights generous donors and artisan partners. Gift goody bags, a red carpet reception, and a luxury boutique bazaar round out the day’s thoughtful hospitality.
For decades, Lexye Aversa has been a central figure in Palm Beach’s rarefied social and cultural life – a doyenne whose name has become synonymous with refinement, philanthropy, and the art of gracious living. Her presence in Palm Beach is not merely social; it is emblematic of a certain kind of enduring style that defines the community’s upper echelon. Through her work in event design, charitable initiatives, and leadership across countless cultural institutions, Aversa has woven herself into the very fabric of Palm Beach society.
Those who know Palm Beach recognize that its history is not only written in architecture or lineage but also in the people who sustain its spirit. Lexye Aversa stands among those few whose influence has both shaped and preserved that tradition. Known for her discretion, elegance, and seemingly effortless sense of organization, she has curated events that reflect the same balance of artistry and order that has long characterized Palm Beach’s finest moments.
Her career in event and destination management has made her one of the region’s most respected professionals in luxury planning and international hospitality. Under her leadership, her ventures have served high-profile clients from around the world, orchestrating experiences that transcend the conventional boundaries of social gatherings. Each event is conceived not as a production but as a narrative – a seamless reflection of style, intention, and emotion.
Aversa’s signature lies in her ability to create harmony between purpose and presentation. Whether coordinating an international summit, a charitable gala, or a private celebration for one of Palm Beach’s distinguished families, her approach remains constant: attention to detail, respect for tradition, and commitment to authenticity. These qualities have earned her the trust of both longtime residents and newcomers drawn to the island’s unique blend of old-world elegance and contemporary sophistication.
Lexye Aversa’s professional journey extends beyond Palm Beach’s shoreline. Her company, recognized across the industry for its creativity and precision, has produced events throughout the United States and abroad, often bringing a touch of Palm Beach refinement to global stages. Her fluency in international hospitality has positioned her as a cultural ambassador of sorts, blending American professionalism with the kind of European polish that remains her hallmark.
Her clientele ranges from Fortune 500 companies to philanthropic organizations, all of whom rely on her instinct for excellence and understanding of high society’s expectations. Yet her success is not simply a reflection of taste – it is built on an ethos of service, empathy, and integrity. Her events often serve causes larger than the gatherings themselves, raising funds and awareness for educational, humanitarian, and cultural initiatives that strengthen the community she calls home.
In a town where discretion and legacy hold equal importance, Aversa has managed to maintain both with rare skill. Her reputation as a connector—someone who brings together individuals and institutions for meaningful collaboration – has made her indispensable in Palm Beach’s evolving social landscape. She is known not only for her professionalism but also for her sense of genuine care, ensuring that every occasion she touches carries warmth and authenticity.
Her leadership extends to a wide network of charitable organizations, cultural institutions, and civic initiatives. Through years of active engagement, she has supported the preservation of the arts, education, and local heritage. Her vision for Palm Beach is not one of nostalgia, but of continuity – maintaining the island’s grace while adapting it to the expectations of a modern world.
The story of Lexye Aversa is inseparable from the story of Palm Beach itself. She represents a leader that values civility, attention to detail, and the quiet dignity of doing things beautifully and correctly. Her reputation as a doyenne comes not from self-promotion but from the steady accumulation of trust, accomplishment, and contribution.
In an era where social life can feel fleeting, Aversa’s work reminds Palm Beach of its deeper values – elegance, philanthropy, and community. She continues to shape the rhythm of its seasons through her leadership, her aesthetic sensibility, and her unwavering dedication to excellence. Her name endures as a symbol of what Palm Beach has always stood for: a commitment to living with grace, generosity, and purpose.
At the heart of the event stands Nicholas E. Silverio, known widely as “Uncle Nick,” the CEO, founder, and steady fulcrum of the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation. His organization’s hallmark initiative, A Safe Haven for Newborns, collaborates with hospitals, fire stations, first responders, and community partners to prevent infant abandonment while providing resources to mothers and families in need. The luncheon sustains that mission and extends its reach through awareness and funding.
The guest list this year includes special royal guests Her Highness Princess Caroline Murat and her husband, Antoine Turzi. Princess Caroline, an acclaimed concert pianist aka Caroline Haffner, is scheduled to perform, bringing a cultural highlight to the program and underscoring the event’s blend of artistry and advocacy. The afternoon will also acknowledge Antoine Turzi’s entrepreneurial leadership with the launch of his RegenSkin LLC line, adding a contemporary business note to a day focused on community impact.
Few figures in modern classical music blend noble heritage, artistic brilliance, and cultural leadership as gracefully as Princess Caroline Murat, the acclaimed French concert pianist and arts-festival director. Born into one of Europe’s most distinguished families, she is a direct descendant of King Joachim Murat and Queen Caroline Bonaparte of Naples – Napoleon’s youngest sister. Yet, far from resting on her lineage, Princess Caroline carved her own legacy through music, diplomacy, and education, inspiring audiences across continents with her profound artistry.
Caroline began her journey at the piano at the age of four, displaying an extraordinary sensitivity and command far beyond her years. By fourteen, she was already performing professionally, enchanting audiences with a musical voice that critics would later describe as “both passionate and refined.” Her dedication was matched only by her curiosity – a drive that led her to some of the most prestigious conservatories in Europe.
Princess Caroline studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, the École Normale de Musique de Paris, and later pursued advanced studies in Vienna and at the Moscow Conservatory, absorbing the traditions of the great European piano schools. To honor her maternal heritage and family’s link to Salzburg’s famed Mozart patron Sigmund Haffner, she also performs under the name Caroline Haffner – a tribute to both musical history and personal identity.
Critics and audiences alike have praised Caroline Murat for her dramatic intensity, romantic phrasing, and crystalline technique. Her performances, whether in intimate salons or major concert halls, convey an emotional depth that speaks directly to the listener’s soul. She brings to the stage a rare blend of regal poise and human warmth, making every concert both an artistic and personal experience.
Over the years, she has performed throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, often featured as both pianist and artistic ambassador at cultural events. A 2017 concert program in Palm Beach described her as “a Princess who reigns through music – a virtuoso whose touch transforms the piano into poetry.”
It was at this magical performance, Lexye encountered the Princess and her talent, and they have been devoted friends since, sharing memorable experiences throughout Italy, New York and Palm Beach.
Beyond her brilliance as a pianist, Caroline has become one of Europe’s foremost cultural organizers. In 2000, she founded Les Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, a festival dedicated to bringing together master musicians and emerging talents in the majestic Swiss Alps. Later, she launched the Gstaad New Year Music Festival, which she continues to direct – creating a rare haven for artists where artistry, community, and serenity intertwine.
Her approach to festival direction is guided by mentorship rather than celebrity. “I believe in nurturing the next generation,” she once said, emphasizing that music should remain “an act of sharing, not of competition.” Under her leadership, Gstaad’s winter festival has become an essential destination for music lovers from around the world.
Princess Caroline’s devotion to music extends beyond the stage. She regularly hosts masterclasses, coaches young pianists, and collaborates with cultural institutions to create opportunities for rising artists. Her influence has reached beyond Europe to the United States and Asia, where she’s recognized not only as a performer but as a cultural ambassador of the arts.
Deeply rooted in European musical tradition, Caroline Murat embodies the timeless values of elegance, discipline, and expression. Yet she interprets the classics with a contemporary sensibility, never imitating, always re-imagining. Her repertoire spans Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Debussy, Ravel, and contemporary French composers, showcasing her commitment to both heritage and innovation.
Princess Caroline Murat stands as a modern renaissance figure, an artist who bridges nobility and creativity, tradition and modernity. Her dual identity as Caroline Haffner symbolizes that harmony: the union of royal dignity and artistic devotion. Whether performing before heads of state or teaching a young pianist, she radiates the same sincerity, warmth, and love for music that have defined her career.
In her own words: “Music is the most direct language of the heart. It unites people beyond words, beyond borders, beyond time.”
With every note she plays, Princess Caroline Murat continues to honor that creed, proving that true royalty lies not in titles, but in the noble spirit of art.
Italian tenor Franco Corso joins the stage with musicians and a Ballet Palm Beach troupe, delivering a cabaret program curated to uplift and engage a philanthropic audience. The entertainment is structured to complement the luncheon service and auction segments, ensuring a smooth arc from welcome to finale.
The Italian singer known for his rich baritone voice and heartfelt performances has become one of Palm Beach’s most distinguished entertainers. Franco Corso, often celebrated for bridging the worlds of classical opera and contemporary pop, continues to captivate audiences with his signature blend of passion, poise, and Mediterranean warmth. His concerts, often held at some of South Florida’s most elegant venues, draw an audience that appreciates both sophistication and sincerity in live performance.
Born in Italy and deeply influenced by the traditions of his homeland, Franco Corso carries with him an instinctive reverence for melody and lyric. His artistry has been shaped by the great Italian vocalists who came before him, yet his style remains distinctly personal. On stage, he moves effortlessly between Italian standards, crossover classics, and American favorites, connecting cultures with a natural ease that feels both timeless and modern.
In Palm Beach, Corso has found an audience that mirrors his appreciation for refinement and artistry. The city’s blend of European-inspired elegance and cosmopolitan energy offers an ideal backdrop for his performances. His concerts often unfold as more than musical events, they are experiences of cultural exchange, where each song becomes a gesture of shared emotion and heritage.
Corso’s repertoire spans operatic arias, Neapolitan ballads, and popular songs reimagined through his own interpretive lens. His renditions of pieces made famous by Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, and Tony Bennett have drawn particular acclaim for their vocal precision and heartfelt sincerity. Yet beyond technical mastery, it is his ability to make each song feel intimate, even in grand settings, that defines his artistry.
Over the years, Franco Corso has become an essential figure in the Palm Beach cultural calendar. His appearances at theaters, galas, and private soirées have positioned him among the region’s most sought-after performers. Local audiences, many of whom share Italian heritage or an appreciation for European artistry, find in Corso’s performances a rare sense of connection to tradition.
His concerts often serve charitable or community-driven causes, reinforcing his belief that music should uplift and unite. The combination of his refined stage presence and his approachable demeanor has earned him loyal supporters throughout South Florida and beyond. He remains as comfortable performing in a grand concert hall as he is at an intimate club, always emphasizing the emotional dialogue between singer and listener.
At the heart of Corso’s appeal lies his ability to communicate emotion through simplicity and truth. His voice carries the warmth of Italian lyricism, and his phrasing reflects deep respect for each song’s origin and meaning. When he performs in Palm Beach, the audience is treated not only to exquisite music but also to a journey through the heart of Italy itself – its stories, its art, and its timeless devotion to beauty.
For Franco Corso, Palm Beach is more than a performance destination; it is a community that has embraced his artistry and made it part of its cultural fabric. His recurring appearances across the region serve as a reminder that elegance and passion need not be grandiose to be profound – they need only be genuine.
Whether on stage at a grand venue or serenading a private gathering, Franco Corso continues to affirm his place as one of South Florida’s most distinctive voices. His career, shaped by discipline and love for the art form, demonstrates how music can transcend language and geography, reaching listeners through the universal power of melody.
Among the leadership and ambassadors lending depth to the occasion are Alexander Katrangi, serving as international leadership ambassador reflecting his stature on the world stage of business and philanthropy; Lady Mignon Roscher Gardner, renowned artist and author is chairperson of the arts; and ambassadors Tony Delgado and Gabriela Berrospi of Latino Wall Street, a media empire, who support outreach to diverse communities. Their roles reinforce the luncheon’s international profile and its open door to collaborative giving.
The humanitarian chairperson and 2021 honoree, Helen Nicosizis, adds special glamour, while being one of the original champions of this fund-raiser and its purpose. Her husband Louis, and son star-author Philip Nicosizis together with his wife Tikky and their daughter Pia, ensure the A-List of Palm Beach is present at this top gathering to launch the Palm Beach season.
International honorary chairpersons Erika Rizzuto and Nicola Rizzuto are recognized for their long-standing philanthropic work. The sisters carry on the high standards of their parents, Ambassador Leandro and Denise Rizzuto, with a family dedication to charity and a dynasty that crosses oceans, with a special devotion to St. Francis of Assisi.
Palm Beach chairperson Arlette Gordon continues to anchor local engagement, drawing together friends of the arts and community leaders who understand how a regional tradition can fuel a statewide safety program. National chairpersons Alan Marks and Joy Marks amplify that message beyond Florida, inviting supporters around the country to recognize the organization’s training initiatives, partnerships, and 24-hour helpline network.
The 2025 grand honoree, Dr. Gina Loudon, will be saluted during the program for notable contributions to the mission. Honoree recognition at this luncheon has historically elevated champions whose efforts translate into tangible outcomes for newborns and mothers. This year’s nomination by Philip Nicozisis continues that tradition, acknowledging the tribute for “Dr. Gina” as an angel amongst us in this world. She is recognized as a TV-Star, News Anchor, Network Producer as well as an Author and International Media maven. Her 17-book series for children entitled “The Bible by Heart” was just launched with the first volume “Days of Creation”.
Dr. Gina’s husband, former Senator John Loudon, is a major Palm Beach Stakeholder. And, her most proud role is as mother of 5 kids, whom she home schooled, including her son Sam with special needs who is adopted and has enhanced the love and joy shared by the entire family and all who know them. “How Sammy Sees the World” is the book penned by his sister Lily!
H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe our Royal host has just been Awarded Most Influential Host of the US by the prestigious Hollywood Elites Magazine.
Guests arriving at Mar-a-Lago will be greeted by the event’s signature red carpet reception, offering an elegant prelude to the luncheon. The luxury boutique bazaar provides curated shopping that benefits the cause, while the silent auction features bespoke experiences and collector pieces selected expressly for a discerning Palm Beach audience.
During the seated program, the live auction serves as a focal point for giving. The auction team, working in concert with the emcee and producer, is structured to maintain momentum and maximize participation. Each lot is chosen for relevance to the guest demographic and for its ability to generate immediate support for A Safe Haven for Newborns.
Throughout the afternoon, the foundation’s mission is conveyed in clear, practical terms. A Safe Haven for Newborns collaborates with hospitals and fire stations across Florida, placing decals and information where they are most needed and training thousands of first responders to identify and assist at-risk situations. The organization also connects expectant mothers and families with counseling, referrals, and essential resources.
Teddy bear icons on the event materials pay tribute to the infants whose lives have been protected through the foundation’s efforts and to the caregivers who stand ready when crisis calls. Those symbols are a gentle reminder that every pledge, auction paddle, and sponsorship carries direct meaning for a child’s chance at safety and care.
Security protocols for the luncheon reflect the stature of the guests and the prestige of the venue. Attendance is by invitation only, with requests mentioning Prince Mario Max funneled through HolidayCabaret@LexAventures.com.
H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe hosts a Royal table together with the esteemed founder Lexye Aversa with particularly limited seating, so an early outreach to join is important.
Lexye Aversa’s production approach favors a cohesive flow over spectacle, aligning each segment with measurable outcomes for the foundation. From the arrangement of the boutique bazaar to the pacing of performances, every detail is considered within the larger objective of raising awareness and funds for newborn safety.
Philanthropic partners value the luncheon’s clarity of purpose. Donors know exactly how their support advances the hotline, expands training, and strengthens partnerships with medical facilities and first responders. This transparency sustains loyalty and attracts new champions who see the impact reflected in the foundation’s statewide presence.
For returning guests, the Holiday Cabaret Luncheon has become a calendar cornerstone, a moment to gather with friends and colleagues in support of a mission that transcends the season. The program’s balance of performance and philanthropy consistently leaves attendees with a sense of accomplishment and a clear understanding of what their generosity makes possible.
The Palm Beach setting delivers an iconic backdrop suited to the luncheon’s stature. Service teams, stage crews, and production staff work in concert with the event committee to manage a tight timeline that accommodates musical performances, honoree presentations, and live fundraising without losing the cadence of an elegant mid-day meal.
Organizers emphasize that the luncheon’s success depends on a broad network of supporters. Committee members, ambassadors, honorary chairs, and sponsors each perform specific roles that together sustain the foundation’s work. Their names are not ceremonial additions; they are active partners who assist with outreach, introductions, sponsorships, and on-the-day execution.
The entertainment roster, led by Franco Corso with musicians and Ballet Palm Beach artists, is curated to complement Princess Caroline Murat’s performance. Program directors prioritize an arc that begins with a high-energy welcome, moves through refined classical selections, and concludes with a celebratory cabaret closer designed to send guests into the reception salons in high spirits.
As the afternoon advances, the focus returns to Nicholas E. Silverio and the operational needs of A Safe Haven for Newborns. The organization continually updates training resources for first responders and maintains strong connections with hospital administrators and community leaders, ensuring responsiveness across Florida and in growing national partnerships.
For guests new to the cause, the luncheon offers a primer on the foundation’s approach. It is not only a safety net for newborns but also an advocacy model that collaborates with individuals and institutions. This broad framework helps reduce crisis points before they arise and provides a dignified path to support when immediate help is needed.
Leaders such as Alexander Katrangi, Lady Mignon Roscher Gardner, Tony Delgado, and Gabriela Berrospi exemplify how the luncheon’s global perspective harmonizes with local action. Their ambassadorial roles extend the message beyond the ballroom and into professional and cultural circles where new alliances can form.
The names of Erika and Nicola Rizzuto signal a transatlantic embrace of the mission, while Arlette Gordon’s Palm Beach stewardship keeps the event grounded in the community that hosts it. Alan and Joy Marks ensure national visibility, strengthening the bridge between local philanthropy and wider awareness.
The involvement of Helen Nicozisis with husband Louis, and through the family line of Philip and Tikky Nicozisis with daughter Pia, along with their church, forge a historic foundation contributing to the luncheon’s philanthropic ledger, demonstrating how the event builds impact year after year through devoted advocates and returning supporters. The Family Nicozisis will again host Father Mark Leondis, Pastor of St. Mark Greek Orthodox Church in Boca Raton, to present the invocation; his church has gathered not only funds in support of this humanitarian mission, but also supplies and necessities by holding “drop off” baby showers twice a year! Church elder, Assimo Kitsis, continues to donate dozens of hand-crocheted baby blankets as part of the Holiday Cabaret’s boutique bazaar.
With the 2025 grand honoree Dr. Gina Loudon in the spotlight, the luncheon underscores the importance of individual commitment alongside institutional support. Honorees provide the narrative thread that transforms statistics into stories of action, and their recognition encourages others to step forward.
Each edition of the Holiday Cabaret Luncheon refines its structure without changing its essence. The program remains faithful to an elegant midday rhythm that respects guests’ schedules while delivering maximum impact for the foundation. Sponsors and attendees recognize the consistency and respond with continued support.
For those seeking a seat, the pathway is straightforward and selective. Interested guests may contact HolidayCabaret@LexAventures.com to be considered for the invitation list, subject to approval and security requirements. The Royal Table hosted by H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe is particularly limited, and early outreach is encouraged for those wishing to join that table.
By late afternoon, guests depart with a deeper connection to A Safe Haven for Newborns and a clear picture of how the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation converts philanthropy into direct services. The luncheon’s blend of culture, hospitality, and mission provides a model for purpose-driven gatherings that honor tradition while addressing urgent needs.
A magnificent masterpiece in elegance and ambition, Mar-a-Lago stands as one of the most renowned private estates in the world. Set along the shimmering coastline of Palm Beach, the mansion embodies a level of architectural and cultural splendor that continues to fascinate connoisseurs of design, history, and society. Built in the early twentieth century and long associated with grandeur, it remains a rare surviving emblem of America’s great houses, where craftsmanship and ceremony merge seamlessly with the spirit of Palm Beach’s gilded heritage.
Mar-a-Lago was conceived as more than a home. Its creator, Marjorie Merriweather Post, imagined it as an estate that would reflect both personal taste and civic vision. She enlisted the finest artisans and architects of her time to shape a property that would harmonize Mediterranean influence with the scale and prestige befitting one of the country’s most accomplished families. From its earliest days, the mansion was known not only for its sweeping presence but also for its dedication to the art of hospitality.
Every aspect of Mar-a-Lago was planned with a sense of permanence. The estate’s façade, with its coral stone archways and red-tiled roofs, reflects the Spanish and Venetian inspirations that defined Florida’s most opulent era. The interiors are an intricate blend of European ornamentation and American confidence. Walls are adorned with gold-leaf detailing, ceilings carry hand-painted beams, and each room tells a story of taste and ambition. The mansion’s scale is vast yet balanced, with more than one hundred rooms carefully arranged to provide both grandeur and intimacy.
The ballrooms of Mar-a-Lago are among its most defining features. They were created as spaces of gathering and celebration, designed to evoke the great salons of Europe while maintaining the warmth of an American estate. The Grand Ballroom, resplendent with crystal chandeliers and polished marble, remains one of the largest and most elaborately appointed in Palm Beach. Its golden columns, mirrored walls, and intricate ceilings create an atmosphere of timeless ceremony. The sound of music, conversation, and movement has filled this room for nearly a century, linking generations of guests through moments of shared splendor.
In every direction, the craftsmanship of Mar-a-Lago is visible. The estate’s public rooms are framed by elegant archways and open terraces, connecting interior refinement with the surrounding landscape. Venetian glass panels, rare tapestries, and antique furnishings were carefully curated to represent not excess but discernment. The sense of harmony between art and architecture gives the mansion its enduring presence, a reason it has remained a touchstone for those who study the great houses of the world.
Throughout the decades, Mar-a-Lago has played many roles. From a private residence to a social landmark and later a private club, it has continued to symbolize Palm Beach’s unique combination of luxury and legacy. Events held within its halls draw a distinguished circle of figures from business, culture, and global society. Each gathering is a reflection of the estate’s original purpose: to bring together people of influence in a setting that celebrates civility and style.
The estate’s location between Lake Worth and the Atlantic Ocean gives it both privacy and prominence. Visitors who pass through its gates find themselves transported into a world of classical proportion and careful preservation. The gardens surrounding the property complement the structure’s balance, with manicured lawns, sculpted hedges, and pathways that lead to fountains and courtyards. Every view reinforces the mansion’s unity of design.
The attention to detail that defines Mar-a-Lago’s ballrooms extends to every part of the estate. The dining rooms are appointed with precision, the library maintains the quiet dignity of an era devoted to literature and art, and the private suites remain studies in comfort and refinement. Over the years, renovations have preserved the integrity of the original design while enhancing the property’s ability to serve a modern audience. The result is a living museum of architectural achievement, where every corner continues to serve its intended purpose with elegance intact.
In Palm Beach’s cultural narrative, Mar-a-Lago occupies a singular position. It is both a remnant of America’s golden age of estates and a living part of the country’s social fabric. Its ballrooms continue to host evenings that blend history and present-day society, where formality meets familiarity and tradition sustains itself through meticulous care. The estate’s preservation ensures that the story envisioned by Marjorie Merriweather Post remains alive—a story of design, devotion, and enduring grace.
For those who have experienced its grandeur, Mar-a-Lago represents not just architecture but aspiration. It is a monument to vision and artistry, a house that has transcended time while retaining every element of its original charm. In the reflection of its chandeliers and the symmetry of its gardens, one sees not only the elegance of Palm Beach but the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship.
The eighth annual Holiday Cabaret Luncheon demonstrates how Palm Beach’s social calendar can power life-changing outcomes. With leadership from H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe and Lexye Aversa, performances by Princess Caroline Murat and Franco Corso, international musicians and Ballet Palm Beach dancers, and the steadfast guidance of Nicholas E. Silverio, the December 17 gathering at The Mar-a-Lago Club stands as a compelling call to rally around newborns and the families who need them most, with 432 babies on earth today who might not otherwise have had a chance for life.
