Friends of the Big Sioux River is delighted to invite you to our first annual River Revival fundraising gala, a night for clean water, community, and conservation. Join us as we celebrate and reflect upon our continued efforts to protect and restore the Big Sioux River for today’s community and future generations. It’s high time for a river revival. We hope you’ll join us in our endeavors.

Following the social hour, make your way downstairs to the beautiful Cherapa event space overlooking the Big Sioux River. Hear from FBSR staff and board members about our pivotal work over the last year and our plans for the future. Enjoy hearty hors d’oeuvres and desserts from Minervas along with wine, beer, signature cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages from Barcart. As the sun sets over the river, continue bidding on silent auction items while listening to live jazz music from the Dan Heier Quartet, a local instrumental group. Together, we’ll work to revive the river, one current of change at a time.
