Stifel Celebrates La Notte Bianca: A White Night in Cortina for Olympic Ski Team Support
More than 400 guests gathered for La Notte Bianca, “White Night in Cortina,” inspired by Cortina d’Ampezzo — the storied Italian resort that will host the 2026 Winter Olympics. Guests embraced the “all white” theme in glamorous style, turning the night into a dazzling alpine celebration. The record-setting event raised $1.375 million to support the athletes of the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, who mingled with guests throughout the evening. Olympians Mikaela Shiffrin, Alex Ferreira, Bella Wright and Jaelin Kauf were joined by rising stars Lauren and Ally Macuga and Paralympic champion Noah Elliott, graciously posing for photos and sharing stories of competition, determination and the road to Milan-Cortina. Guests enjoyed varied culinary offerings and mingled with specialty cocktails before a high-energy performance from Laka, whose vibrant set had the dance floor packed late into the night. The evening was hosted by Stifel Chairman and CEO Ron Kruszewski and Amanda Perkins.
