CCA Annual Banquet and Auction Set for April 23

Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Skidaway Chapter’s 24th Annual Banquet and Auction is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23 in the Palmetto Clubhouse Ballroom. “For almost a quarter century, our dinner with its attendant Silent and Live Auctions has become one of our island’s signature events where we look forward to renewing old friendships and introducing newcomers to our CCA Skidaway Chapter,” said Banquet Chair Tom Rood.

The Banquet Committee is pleased to invite new and seasoned anglers as well as everyone interested in the conservation of our coastal marine resources to join us for an evening of great food, fun, and fund raising. The evening will again feature one of the best “live auctions” in the Coastal Empire as well as a Silent Auction with an extensive array of both angling and non-angling prizes designed to get your bidding juices flowing.  

CCA was founded in 1977 by a small group of Texas recreational anglers who had become alarmed by the drastic decline of redfish due to commercial overfishing. Thanks to CCA’s advocacy, only four years later gillnets were eliminated in the state, a critical first step in the restoration of redfish and the growth of CCA in enhancing marine habitats in waters off our coastal states.           

Our theme for this year’s dinner is a tribute to CCA’s early achievements using the distinctive black dotted redfish tail as the graphic element in our phrase, Our Tail of Success.         

Our fundraising will continue to help CCA in its role as the “voice of the recreational angler” and support a wide range of CCA initiatives that serve to enhance our coastal environments.           

Ticket prices are $260 per couple and $140 per single and include an annual CCA Membership. Tickets are now available for purchase by visiting ccaskidaway.org.           

We look forward to seeing you at the Palmetto Club on April 23!
