Chesapeake Bay Trust

The Chesapeake Bay Trust is a nonprofit, grantmaking organization dedicated to improving the waterways and other natural resources of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay region. Our goal is to improve our watershed by focusing on three core objectives: environmental education, community outreach, and on-the-ground restoration. On average, the Trust awards $10-$13 million per year in grants to better local communities and the Bay. We reach more than 250,000 individuals annually who are making a difference for our waters and for the natural resources of our region. Our reason is simple: we believe that getting individuals involved is the key to restoring the Chesapeake Bay and our rivers and streams. The Trust is supported by the sale of the Treasure the Chesapeake license plate, donations to the Chesapeake Bay and Endangered Species Fund on the Maryland State income tax form, donations from individuals and corporations, and partnerships with private foundations and federal, state, and local agencies such as Anne Arundel County. The Trust continually earns a 4-star charity rating, the highest possible by Charity Navigator, a national charity evaluator. Ninety-two cents of every dollar goes directly to projects and educational programs in the community.

Marine Drive Golf Club

For over 85 years, the Members of Marine Drive have set standards of excellence. An ideally situated and mature course, Marine Drive has been the home of many champions including Stan Leonard, the Club's long-time honorary professional. At just over 6,300 yards from the blue tees, it is certainly known for its difficulty as opposed to its length, but at par 71, many players will tell you it plays longer than expected. It has certainly earned the respect of many a fine player as well as many of golf's top pundits.

AE Events

Here's the thing about event planning: No two events are ever the same. There are no formulas. Every client is different. It's what makes our job so exciting—and challenging. And it's why we approach each project with a fresh eye, and an appreciation for every client's very individual needs. You want a French feast with a live, Broadway-caliber performance for 1,000? We can do that. Or an intimate, sophisticated birthday party for 10? We can do that, too. And we'll do it creatively, efficiently, and within budget. For more than 15 years, AE Events has been designing and producing special occasion events, covering all aspects from venue selection, event concept, and décor to audio-visual expertise, stage management, and scriptwriting. We think of everything, so you don't have to.
