The ICF Outdoor Hall of Fame Gala is Illinois’ premier fundraising event for outdoor education, recreation and wildlife conservation. Proceeds benefit the many programs of the Illinois Conservation Foundation, which since 1995 has raised and given away more than $41 million in collaboration with the IDNR, among other public and private partners.

In 2021, the ICF honored the 2019 and 2020 Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame classes. The 2019 class included Diane and Doug Oberhelman and the 2020 class included Michael Conlin, Jim Smith, and Bob Wilkins. The ICF would like to give a special thanks to our sponsors, donors, and everyone who participated in helping us raise over $100,000 during our virtual gala!
