FRIENDS OF THE CHICAGO RIVER
Since 1979, Friends has been working to improve the health of the Chicago River for the benefit of people and wildlife; and by doing so, has laid the foundation for the river to be a beautiful, continuous, and easily accessible corridor of open space in the Chicago region.

Beelzebub is both party and pageantry and Friends of the Chicago River is honored to be part of the magic. This ingenious affair supports critical efforts to improve the river while providing attendees a one of kind spectacular they are unlikely to forget.

NETWORK FOR TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship’s mission is to provide programs that inspire young people from low-income communities to stay in school, to recognize business opportunities and to plan for successful futures.

GoodWorks Chicago supports The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship and our mission to provide entrepreneurship education to youth from low-income communities. Their generosity fosters the creation of experiential programming that arm young people with skills that help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset and ensure they are the city’s next generation of business leaders. Thanks to Goodworks Chicago over the last four years, NFTE Chicago reached 6,000 young people. We look forward to many more years of partnership.
