Engage Your Team for Earth Day
Our annual Big Fish Ball is making an exciting move from a hotel ballroom overlooking the river to an elegant Earth Day on the River cruise on April 17, and all sponsors will enjoy special April Earth Month employee engagement activities beyond the boat to make a direct positive impact on the health of the 156-mile river system and its wildlife.
The Big Fish Ball is one of our most special fundraising events of the year – bringing together a festive community of Friends’ supporters, partners, and civic leaders in celebration of our work to protect and restore the Chicago-Calumet River system.
We are working hard to ensure that every one of our committed long-term partners is signed on to the special event as soon as possible. With newly designed sponsorship packages we aim to strengthen connections between you, your team, and nature. Our Earth month engagements include lectures on policy and outreach; litter free clean ups; and restorative forestry work.
On April 17, we will set sail aboard the Odyssey Chicago River, celebrating with hundreds of guests who are committed to environment health, educating students, making the river cleaner and accessible to all, and preserving this vibrant economic and cultural asset for Chicago and beyond. The fun evening will feature a silent auction with over 60 exciting items including luxury trips, fun night out experiences, outdoor gear, and much more.
Sponsorship details are available here.
