Why Support CBMM?
“CBMM gave me the opportunity to learn and experience more about the Chesapeake Bay’s history. I enjoy volunteering and sharing that knowledge with thousands of visitors each year. I’ve included CBMM in my estate plans to help ensure those efforts will continue when I am just a faint memory.”
