Heartland Benefit

THE HEARTLAND INSTITUTE’S
40TH ANNIVERSARY BENEFIT DINNER

Join us for a momentous occasion celebrating four decades of championing liberty and advancing free-market principles at the Heartland Institute’s 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner!

Keynote Address by Nigel Farage

We are honored to feature Nigel Farage, a leading voice in the fight for freedom and the architect of the new conservative movement in the UK and across Europe. Farage’s pivotal role in the Brexit movement and his unwavering advocacy for liberty have inspired a resurgence of conservative values throughout Europe. His keynote address will offer invaluable insights into these transformative shifts and their implications for the future of global politics. As these changes unfold across the Atlantic, they signal a new era of conservative resurgence that we can expect to influence the landscape in the United States as well.

Honoring Larry Arnn with the Heartland Liberty Prize

We are also proud to honor Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, with the prestigious Heartland Liberty Prize. Dr. Arnn has been a stalwart advocate for constitutional principles and educational excellence, embodying the spirit of liberty that Heartland Institute stands for. His unwavering commitment to promoting conservative values through education and his leadership at Hillsdale College have profoundly impacted the landscape of American thought and policy.

Dr. Arnn’s dedication to preserving and advancing the principles of liberty makes him a fitting recipient of this esteemed award. His work not only educates the leaders of tomorrow but also serves as a beacon of hope for the continuation of our nation’s founding ideals.
