Brad and his wife Barb have always believed in giving back to the community they call home. The Brad Kappel Team has carefully selected local causes to support whose missions ensure a healthy and thriving Chesapeake Bay environment for families to enjoy for generations to come.
Founded in 1966, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest independent conservation organization dedicated solely to saving the Bay. Serving as a watchdog, CBF fights for effective, science-based solutions to the pollution degrading the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams. Their motto, “Save the Bay,” is a regional rallying cry for pollution reduction throughout the Chesapeake’s six-state, 64,000-square-mile watershed, which is home to more than 18 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals. With offices in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia and 15 field centers, CBF leads the way in restoring the Bay and its rivers and streams. For more than 50 years, CBF has created a broad understanding of the Bay’s poor health, engaged public leaders in making commitments to restore the Chesapeake, and fought successfully to create a new approach to cleanup that features real accountability—the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint.
Brad and the Brad Kappel Team are proud to deepen their support of The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park (AMM) in 2026,
expanding their sponsorship and participation across several of the organization’s most beloved community events.
This year, the team will serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the Oyster Roast & Sock Burning on March 21, 2026, a cherished Annapolis tradition that celebrates the arrival of spring on the Chesapeake Bay. The Brad Kappel Team will also participate as a Premier Sponsor of the Chesapeake Catfish Cook-Off on May 16, 2026, and as a sponsor of the museum’s Tides & Tunes Summer Concert Series, which brings free waterfront music to the community each Thursday evening from June 11 through August 13, 2026.
Supporting organizations dedicated to preserving and celebrating the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle remains a core value of the Brad Kappel Team. Through partnerships like this, the team is proud to help ensure that the culture, history, and natural beauty of the Bay continue to be shared with future generations.
The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park educates youth and adults about the region’s rich maritime heritage and the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay through dynamic programs, exhibits, and community events. With two unique waterfront campuses located at the mouth of Back Creek overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, the museum provides hands-on educational experiences designed to foster a deeper connection between people and the environment. Each year, the Education Center at the museum’s Park Campus serves more than 12,000 students and adults through engaging programs that encourage outdoor exploration, environmental stewardship, and critical thinking.
In April 1911, thirty-two residents with property along the shores of the Severn River came together to form the Severn River Association (SRA). This year we are proud to be a Emerald Level Sponsor of the organization, the highest designation available.
Their original purpose was to protect and promote fish and game, and to develop reasonable means of public access to the river. Today, the SRA is the oldest organization in the country dedicated to the preservation of a river, and one of the largest civic groups in Anne Arundel County with over seventy communities represented. Their mission is to “connect the people who live, work, and play on the Severn River to restore and protect it for all of our communities.”
Anne Arundel County CASA, Inc. (AACCASA) is a privately held 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. In 1993, a handful of local attorneys recognized the need for a CASA program in Anne Arundel County. With support from the local Bar Association, the Circuit Court, and the Department of Social Services, AACCASA was incorporated, and began serving children in July 1997. With a small staff of six professionals, we rely on volunteers to achieve our mission. Since our inception, 637 exceptional CASA volunteers have worked diligently to improve the lives of the over 896 children in need in our community. Our dedicated volunteers contribute over 10,000 hours of their time annually to help these children who are unable to help themselves. We are funded through grants, donations, and fundraising events.

The Brad Kappel Team was proud to sponsor the J/22 fleet at this year’s Women’s World Match Racing Tour Santa Maria Cup Regatta, held at our home port of call—Eastport Yacht Club.
As Maryland’s #1 Waterfront Team, our branding was proudly displayed on the hulls seen by thousands throughout the event. Supporting the sport of sailing right here on the shores we call home was a natural fit—and one we’re honored to be part of. Learn more...
