Membership contributions enable Friends of the Chicago River to continue our award-winning efforts. From education programs like our Chicago River Schools Network to on-the-ground projects like habitat restoration to public policy and planning initiatives like Friends’ “Action Plan for the Chicago River” report, your financial support makes our work possible.
All Friends members and donors receive:
- A subscription to Friends’ River Reporter newsletter, filled with important information on issues that effect the Chicago River plus a calendar of river-related events;
- Volunteer bulletins, email actions alerts, and other opportunities for hands-on involvement;
- Invitations to Friends’ special events like Chicago River Day, the Big Fish Ball, and Chicago River Flatwater Classic;
- Discounts on Friends’ canoe trips;
- Listing in Friends’ Annual Report;
And perhaps most significantly,
- The reward of knowing that your membership contribution has a direct impact on improving the health and vitality of the Chicago River
Donors of $250 and above are also eligible for additional recognition opportunities and more! Please contact Suellen Burns at (312) 939-0490, ext. 19, or sburns@chicagoriver.org for more information.
