Field Museum Benefit Ball

About this event series

Celebrate and support the Field Museum at our annual Benefit Ball!

On Saturday, October 21, the Field Museum held its annual fundraising celebration, hosted by the Women's Board and Board of Trustees. The Benefit Ball welcomed patrons for an evening of eye-opening wonder and dynamic science with Museum experts. The Love Science theme celebrated the Museum community’s passion for science and welcomed all to delve into their childlike wonder and curiosity.

  • The evening included the presentation of the Marshall Field V Award for Distinguished Leadershipto the Sue Ling Gin Foundation Trust, accepted by Museum Trustee David L. Cotton. This award is given in recognition of exceptional commitment and support of the Museum.
  • This year, the Field Museum also honored ITWwith the Corporate Philanthropy Award in recognition of the firm’s extraordinary leadership and dedication to the Field over many years. Chairman and CEO Scott Santi accepted the award on behalf of ITW.

The Benefit Ball is the Field’s single most important fundraiser, raising more than $2 million in support for annual programs. Proceeds support the Field Museum’s groundbreaking research, conservation, and education programs in Chicago and around the world.
