Chicago, IL – The Polish Museum of America will sponsor its “Benefit Event 2008” on Friday, November 7 to recognize and honor thirty-two New Millennium Life Members of the Polish Museum and nine Legacy Life Members. Each of these most generous donors have contributed $2,500 to become a Life Member of the Polish Museum because they understand the importance of preserving, restoring and maintaining the unique treasures of this worthwhile institution, some of which are found no where else in the world.
This black-tie event, held in the Great Hall of the Polish Museum of America, 984 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, Illinois, will include a champagne cocktail hour between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. during which guests will view many Literary and Documentary Treasures that are not on display to the public. A delicious dinner, catered by Professional Chef, Tomasz Rybinski will be served at 7:30 p.m. and the program will begin at 9 p.m.
The elegant Benefit Event is also one of the major fundraisers for the museum. Unlike the annual Summer Ball, it’s held every other year to honor new Life Members, who can be individuals, couples, organizations, institutions or corporations. The donation can be made “in memory of” or “in honor of” a special person. At the dinner, the honored new Life Members will receive a medallion, a plaque and a lapel pin. Their names are also placed on the New Millennium Life Member Donor Plaque located in the foyer of the Great Hall of the Polish Museum.
