Hello John,
You’re invited to the America 500 Gala for Western Civilization, held Thursday, April 30, 2026, at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. To celebrate 250 years of American independence, ISI will gather friends and supporters in Washington, DC, to mark the historical moment before us and to look ahead to our great nation's next 250 years.
This year’s program will feature Annette Kirk, longtime steward of the intellectual legacy of her late husband and foundational conservative thinker, Russell Kirk. Annette will give brief remarks and receive the 2026 Charles H. Hoeflich Lifetime Achievement Award, ISI’s highest institutional honor.
Tickets for the Gala are $750, but if you’re under 35, you can get a discounted price of $100 with access code UNDER35 at checkout.
A limited number of event sponsorships are also available for those interested in partnering even further with ISI. Event sponsors gain exclusive access to a VIP reception with our featured speakers, a private tour of Sabin Howard's national WWI memorial, premier event seating, and more. Learn about sponsorship opportunities here.
Space at the Mellon Auditorium is limited, so reserve your spot today!
We hope you’ll join us in April for an evening of celebration.
Warm regards,
Johnny Burtka
President and CEO
