Honoring the Satell Institute
The Liberty Gala is an opportunity to celebrate and support the National Liberty Museum’s mission, our partners, and the impact we have made together over the last year.
The Liberty Gala marks the start of the Year of Assembly. As champions of corporate social responsibility, the Satell Institute convenes business leaders and creates communities that are vital to the success of the American experiment.
Flame Award recipients are recognized for their advocacy of assembly, civil discourse, and the pursuit of liberty. The Satell Institute has long upheld the values of the National Liberty Museum and continues to play an active role in our progress as an institution.
As we celebrate 25 years of connecting, educating, and inspiring individuals to explore and advance liberty, we invite you to join us for an evening that will include a cocktail reception, a dinner experience curated by the region’s top chefs, and an indulgent dessert reception. Each course will feature a unique selection of dishes prepared by a team led by head chef and James Beard Award Finalist, Chef Nicholas Elmi.
The Liberty Gala proceeds support our youth civic leadership education, thought-provoking exhibitions, and our national and international outreach initiatives. With your support, we can inspire and educate about our responsibility to upload the ideals of liberty.
