About this event

Celebrate and support the Field Museum at our annual Gala!

Celebrate the Field Museum’s enduring legacy and evolving future. Join us for an unforgettable
night of dynamic science with Field experts, exploring the rich history and latest innovations
happening at your Museum.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, the Field Museum will hold its annual fundraising celebration, hosted by the Women's Board and Board of Trustees.

  • The evening will include the presentation of the Marshall Field V Award for Distinguished Leadership to the Searle Family. This award is given in recognition of exceptional commitment and support of the Museum.
  • This year, we will also honor Abbott with the Corporate Philanthropy Award in recognition of the firm’s extraordinary leadership and dedication to the Field over many years. Chairman and CEO Robert Ford will accept the award on behalf of Abbott.

Sponsorships, tables, and tickets are available now

The Gala 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.
