It’s about pride, preservation, and ensuring future generations can enjoy our river’s beauty. Your participation helps maintain not only a cleaner river, but also strengthens the bonds that make our neighborhoods thrive. So let’s show what Chicago can do when we roll up our sleeves together, right here at the Chicago Maritime Museum!
