Gala2019

Dear National Hellenic Museum Supporter,

We are excited to announce that the National Hellenic Museum’s spectacular Gala will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at The Geraghty. Together, we will celebrate our shared culture and enjoy fine food, wine, dancing, and a dynamic live auction. We expect an evening with hundreds of high-profile guests from across the nation. We hope you can join us!

On behalf of the National Hellenic Museum Board of Trustees, I am asking you to become a Sponsor of the National Hellenic Museum Gala 2019. We will be honored to have your support in fundraising for an important cause – preserving our memories and legacy for future generations.

Your philanthropic support will benefit the tens of thousands of people - children and adults - who visit the National Hellenic Museum every year. The Museum preserves the largest collection of artifacts and oral histories dedicated to the Greek American story anywhere in the world. Through educational programming, classes and exhibits, the Museum uses history to portray and celebrate Greek heritage and the Hellenic legacy. Your contributions make this happen.

Sponsor the NHM Gala 2019 and add your name as one of the many who support the Museum.

Please choose a sponsorship level that is right for you on the enclosed Sponsorship Form and return it with your method of payment by April 30th to be included in the Gala Program Book.

Questions? Please contact the NHM Development Team, at 312-655-1234, ext. 28, or gala@hellenicmuseum.org.

Thank you for your commitment. We look forward to recognizing your generosity at the Gala!

See you in May!

Laura Calamos, PhD FHEA President

ABOUT THE NATIONAL HELLENIC MUSEUMThe National Hellenic Museum (NHM) is dedicated to portraying the legacy of Greek history and culture, and the Greek story in America. Through cultural expression and oral history, the Museum’s exhibits, educational classes, and programs spark curiosity about visitors’ own family stories, linking generations of Americans to the Hellenic legacy.

The Museum holds a rich repository of 20,000+ artifacts, photos, historic newspapers, and books and an archive of 450+ recorded histories. The NHM Collections serve as the physical hub of Greek American history, now over five generations strong. The Museum portrays, preserves, and celebrates the mosaic of the Greek diaspora, immigrant journeys, and the breadth of the American experience.

LIFELONG LEARNINGLifelong learning for the whole community is a key component of the NHM’s mission. The Museum’s educational programs are professionally designed and delivered for pre-K through 12th grade, college students, and adults. In 2017, over 21,000 individuals experienced the Museum, including thousands of schoolchildren on field trips and group tours. Skills such as critical thinking, researching, interviewing, storytelling, and writing are introduced through artifacts and experiential Museum education in the arts, sciences, and humanities. Cultural programming includes family events, Greek language training, and public programs. All NHM programming aims to promote self-awareness and understanding in a diverse world.

COMMUNITYThe Museum values the principle of community and is grateful for the support and efforts of 100+ volunteers, docents, and interns from local universities. Partnerships and grants from local, national, and global partners continue to enhance the Museum’s broad perspective. Through collaboration with organizations such as the Chicago Cultural Alliance, Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, Illinois Humanities, and others, more people are reached every year.

ORIGINS AND OPPORTUNITIESFounded in Chicago as the Hellenic Museum and Cultural Center (HMCC) in 1983, the HMCC moved to the city’s Greektown neighborhood in 2004 and opened its current location on Halsted Street as the National Hellenic Museum in 2011. The contemporary four-story building is home to extensive collections, rotating exhibits, classrooms, and a stunning rooftop view of Chicago. Three floors of galleries explore ancient and modern themes and provide multi-use spaces to host tours, public programs, and private events. For information on programs, membership, special events, facility rentals, or giving, please visit us at: www.nationalhellenicmuseum.org.
