The Big Fish Ball is Friends' largest fundraising event that includes a fabulous cocktail hour that brings together leaders and young professionals from the Chicago community to the river with an amazing opportunity to engage with river wildlife and a delightful three-course dinner and program that honors the recipients of the Chicago River Blue Awards, the highest achievement in river-sensitive designs along the river. The evening also includes a silent auction featuring gifts and certificates from local and national businesses. .
