Building a Watershed Community of Caretakers
Friends of the Fox River (FOTFR) fulfills the most important part of our mission: education, through our unique experiential streams education experiences. For the last several years, our outreach educators have been hosting up to 5,000 students in boots to participate in field studies in a stream near their school. They learn to make physical, chemical and biological measurements to determine water quality and health of that tributary to the Fox River. They learn about the life of that stream and come to understand how every stream and river supports a web of life. Now the demand for this hands-on, science learning about the student’s local environment is growing and we need your help to meet it.
Here’s the Deal
The raffle prize kayaks with gear are the only prize in the raffle. A maximum of 1,000 tickets will be sold. The winning raffle ticket and two alternative winning tickets will be chosen at Scorched Earth in Algonquin on September 24 at 8:00 pm. Join us for this celebration along Crystal Creek.
Take a chance to win these kayaks and help us teach our children well.
