A Virtual Celebration of Stewardship, Access, and the Future of Maryland’s Fisheries
Each fall, as families and friends gather to give thanks, CCA Maryland invites our community to come together in a different but equally meaningful way-by supporting the health of our marine resources and the future of recreational fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. Giving Thanks for Conservation is a virtual fundraising event designed to connect supporters with the mission-driven work CCA Maryland delivers year-round: restoring habitat, expanding angler access, educating the next generation, and advocating for sustainable fisheries.
The event includes exclusive auction opportunities, with every item directly supporting CCA’s work on the water and in the community. Whether you’re contributing through a single donation, a monthly pledge, bidding on an item, or simply sharing the event with friends, your participation strengthens Maryland’s angling heritage and ensures that the Chesapeake Bay remains vibrant, resilient, and accessible for generations to come.
Participants are invited to make a recurring pledge that carries their impact into 2026, helping to provide the steady, reliable support needed to meet Maryland’s growing conservation challenges. Your gift fuels programs that engage thousands of students, families, volunteers, and partners each year through hands-on conservation experiences-most notably CCA Maryland’s Living Reef Action Campaign, a program now set for expansion in 2026.
With your continued support, future anglers will continue to enjoy habitat we build, creating long-lasting habitat for oysters, striped bass, and countless other species, helping restore the Bay from the bottom up.
Thank you for giving thanks-and giving back-to conservation, now and into the future.
