Join us.

2026 CHAIRS | Robert & Peggy Lyons

Water connects us.
Belugas leap, damselfish dart and corals sway.

Each moment of wonder reminds us of a fundamental truth:
Their world is our world, too.

At Shedd Aquarium, we work to protect
oceans, lakes and rivers — and the life within them.

Because the future of water is a future we shape together.

For Love of Waterkind
