The countdown is on for our 2026 Annual CCA Austin Chapter fundraising banquet. We would not be able to raise the funds needed to continue CCA mission without all the local Chapters’ fundraising efforts and the support we receive from you and local businesses.
Calendar of Events: April 2 – ANO at Austin Yeti Flagship Store at 220 S Congress Ave, Austin 78704. We have partnered with Yeti to host an Anglers’ Night Out to promote CCA, have some fun and network with other people. Special guest speaker is fishing guide Joey Farah. This is a free event to attend.
Available now – Boat raffle tickets are available to purchase now. There are only 260 tickets sold at $250 each.

You can purchase a raffle ticket through any board member or email Cheryl at cherylccaaustin@gmail.com or call (512) 662-0006.
