The Aspire! Gala is the Swedish American Museum's largest annual fundraising event. This year the gala will take place on November 4 at the Swedish American Museum in the Andersonville neighborhood Chicago. We hope to have about 150 guests at our in-person event, which will feature a raffle and live auction. We will also have an online silent auction that will reach a wider audience. Our goal is to raise at least $100,000 to support the Museum's efforts to highlight Swedish and Swedish-American immigration and culture in the Midwest.
