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 2022, the ICF is honoring John Burke, Jr., Betty DeFord, and Brian Drendel. The ICF is also pleased to announce that our keynote speaker for 2022 is esteemed actor, author and woodworker Nick Offerman.
