In 1970, Lee Botts formed the Lake Michigan Federation, which was instrumental in early Great Lakes protection campaigns. That advocacy group would go on to become the Alliance for the Great Lakes, which is now dedicated to protecting all five Great Lakes.
To celebrate the Alliance’s 50th anniversary, it is asking supporters to make online donations in place of attending the Great Blue Benefit in Chicago and the Clean Lake Benefit in Cleveland, both of which were called off due to COVID-19. All donations will go toward the Alliance’s efforts to ensure access to safe and clean water for everyone in the region.
To donate, visit donate.greatlakes.org.
