Champions of the Chesapeake

“Each year, 十大赌博正规老平台协会表彰来自切萨皮克各地的杰出领导人，他们在保护和恢复我们的自然系统和文化资源方面取得了重大和堪称典范的成就.”

-President and CEO Joel Dunn

Since 2014, 我们已经认可了许多个人和组织作为切萨皮克的捍卫者，因为他们致力于保护和保护切萨皮克湾, the largest estuary in the United States, and deemed a national treasure.

衷心祝贺2023年切萨皮克冠军!

Nethra Purushothaman

James and Sylvia Earl

詹姆斯和西尔维娅·厄尔是十大赌博正规老平台协会的长期支持者. 他们决定通过为当地的保护非营利组织提供一个工作场所来留下持久的遗产，这将深刻地影响十大赌博正规老平台组织的子孙后代. As Chesapeake Conservancy knows, 非营利组织面临的最困难的挑战之一是为管理费用筹集资金, such as rent. By enabling the Conservancy to acquire its own building, 厄尔家族的十大赌博正规老平台将减轻当地几家非营利组织的负担, as well as provide space for collaboration and sharing resources. 十大赌博正规老平台协会永远感谢他们对我们重要工作的支持.
