Annual Gala | Swedish American Museum

2024 Aspire Gala

Honoring the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce

This year, we were proud to honor one of our valued partners, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce (SACC) Chicago, an independent, non-profit, Swedish-American business collaborative. They create business opportunities for Swedish companies in Chicagoland and serve as a key resource for American businesses eyeing Sweden. Last but not least, SACC Chicago strengthens the Swedish community through vibrant social and networking events and is an active member of Team Sweden.

The Swedish American Museum’s annual benefit is always a night of fun, with dinner, dancing and supporting the Museum. We hope you will join us in 2025.

Thank you to our 2024 Sponsors!
