——总裁兼首席执行官乔尔·邓恩

自2014年以来, 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.

Our Heartfelt Congratulations to the 2023 切萨皮克的冠军!

Nethra Purushothaman

一小群女童子军, led by 14-year-old Nethra Purushothaman, 质疑女童子军国家首都委员会出售乔治王子县数百英亩森林栖息地的计划, 马里兰, 发展. Nethra and her friends stood up for East Marlton Forest. With some mentoring from 十大赌博正规老平台 and Sierra Club of 马里兰, it appears these big little heroes were victorious, and most of the land will become part of the Charles Branch Stream Valley Park.

詹姆斯和西尔维娅·厄尔

詹姆斯和西尔维娅·厄尔 are long-time supporters of 十大赌博正规老平台. 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 十大赌博正规老平台 knows, one of the most difficult challenges nonprofits face is fundraising for overhead costs, 比如租金. By enabling the Conservancy to acquire its own building, the Earl family gift will relieve several local nonprofits of that burden, as well as provide space for collaboration and sharing resources. 十大赌博正规老平台 is forever grateful for their support of our important work.
