Help us make this FUNdraiser an over-the-top success!

Local businesses support Friends of the Fox River because the FOX RIVER is a public water drinking source, our most exceptional recreational resource, and clean water equals great beer! Our special friends, including favorite local businesses, are pitching in to make this FUNdraiser AN over-the-top success.

No Clean Water No Good Beer speaks to our fun demeanor as we work to “keep on fixin’ the Fox”. In our work to protect and restore, we take the time to sample and appreciate a fun selection of beers, wines, and coffees. Guests will also enjoy grazing selections all night including a new hot hors d’oeuvres hour this year.

That sets the stage for the real fun, shopping! Many generous Friends and local businesses have offered a wide array of items that are exceptional gifts for yourself or to share with others. Toss raffle tickets in an associated bin to what you find interesting or bid on the grander prizes in silent auction style.

According to our ace donation-getting volunteer Gary Swick, we’ve had very positive responses from locals. One biz said,“We’d love to contribute because Friends of the Fox River does so many wonderful things for our town.”

It is not to late to donate. Please contact us if you would like your business to be included in this great event.  Or, do you want to just join the fun, drink great beer and try your luck in the silent auctions? Get your tickets now, while supplies last. There is something for everyone, take a peek at this partial list.

This silent auction item has a value of over $1200
