IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE: This event has been moved from Saturday, August 15, to Sunday, August 16, 2026.
In the spirit of the sold out 2023 Western White House Party, step into an elegant summer afternoon at one of the Peninsula’s most iconic private estates.
Join us for Le Blanc, a summer garden soirée set at the historic French château in Hillsborough, once the residence of Bing Crosby (1965-2025). On Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 11:00 am –2:00 PM PST, guests will gather for an elevated outdoor experience blending timeless architecture, curated company, and refined leisure.
Hosted by Harvard Business School Association of Northern California, and co-hosted by over 20 MBA and Ivy+ alumni organizations, this event brings together a highly curated community of exceptional people for an afternoon designed to foster meaningful connections in a relaxed, sophisticated setting.
The majority of the event will take place outdoors, taking full advantage of the estate’s manicured gardens and European-inspired grounds. In keeping with the theme, guests are asked to wear all white, creating a cohesive and visually striking atmosphere.
Guests can expect a polished yet social environment, with light bites, refreshments, and music complementing the setting. The tone is intentionally balanced: elevated but not formal, social yet selective.
A special thank you to Alex Buljan of The Buljan Group for making this extraordinary property available. The residence is currently offered for sale at $28,995,000, presenting a rare opportunity to experience a legacy estate of this caliber firsthand.
