End: Saturday, November 30, 2024 11:59PM

The Chicago Scots, the longest-running charity in Illinois, is celebrating Scotland and Kindness by hosting its 179th Annual Saint Andrew’s Day Gala, “The Feast of the Haggis”, on St. Andrew’s Day, Saturday, November 30 beginning at 5 p.m. Never missing a year to host even in times of war, depression and pandemics, this year’s evening of elegance will be hosted in a new location, the Palmer House Hilton, an iconic Chicago property built on love and ingenuity, located at 17 E Monroe. In the spirit of the giving season, all proceeds from the evening will benefit the organization’s principal charity, Caledonia Senior Living and Memory Care in North Riverside as they gratefully recognize the contributions and accomplishments of fellow Scots and support their elder care mission. Tickets to the evening are extremely limited and will sell out fast! Throughout this grand night of tradition, attendees who are Scottish by birth, by heritage or simply by inclination will enjoy a cocktail reception with Scottish flair, followed by a special presentation of the Haggis and a banquet seated dinner. The entertainment for the evening will include live Pipe Band performances and Highland Dancers throughout the night, along with a special presentation of awards, toasts and tributes. Tickets to the lavish evening begin at $250 per person for general admission, which includes access to the open bar and a sit-down dinner. Sponsorship packages are also available for those interested. For more information, please email Dawn Miller at DawnMiller@ChicagoScots.org. Donations of any kind are also very welcome.
