The Arab American National Museum’s (AANM) simple yet elegant benefit dinner aims to raise much-needed funds for AANM’s necessary educational and cultural programs. World renowned Lebanese American operatic, Amine Hachem, will join us to help set the tone for this benefit with watani (homeland) songs that we hope will lift our spirits.

At a time when our culture and identity are under attack, the Museum is the only one of its kind in the United States that tells the story of Arab immigrants and their descendants – immortalizing our heritage, on our terms.

As we enter our twentieth year in 2025, we understand that our role in these dire times is to continue to showcase our rich and diverse heritage, educate our youth, uplift our artists and connect our regional enclaves to the larger, national Arab American community. In short, our role is to be a welcoming home for our people. And we need your support in fulfilling our role.
