Who doesn’t love the playful and adventurous river otter? This semi aquatic mammal makes its den along the river bank and relies on a healthy waterway to live, hunt, and raise its pups.

You’ll receive the benefits listed above, and you will be recognized on our website as an official “River Otter” supporter.

$1000 Donation: Bald Eagle

As a Bald Eagle level supporter, you believe the Mahoning River can soar to new heights.

The Mahoning River has come a long way — from a dumping ground for pollutants to a healthy recreational waterway and regional gem for viewing wildlife and natural beauty. Its transformation is because of people like you who care about the river and want to see it thrive. At the Bald Eagle level, your support helps the Friends pursue projects throughout the watershed and ensures that bald eagles will continue to soar here.

At this level, you’ll receive the benefits listed above and you will be recognized at our annual RiverFest event. Whether you are an individual supporter or would like to donate on behalf of your business, this is a great opportunity to give back and to be recognized in front of the Mahoning River community.
