Sponsors

Become a Sponsor of CCA

There are many great reasons to become a sponsor of the Capital Cichlid Association. In addition to the benefits outlined below, your support helps sustain our non-profit organization, which is dedicated to advancing the aquarium hobby, educating the community, and hosting engaging events for fellow hobbyists.

By becoming a sponsor, you directly contribute to our ability to host monthly meetings, invite expert speakers, and fund a variety of fun and educational activities.

Sponsorship Tiers

We offer three levels of sponsorship, each providing increasing benefits:

Tier I Sponsor - $100+ Annual Donation

With a minimum donation of $100 in cash, goods (at wholesale value), or services to the club or a club-sponsored event, you receive:

  • Automatic CCA membership for the duration of your sponsorship, granting access to members-only forum sections and club activities.
  • The ability to post new and upcoming shipments of fish, plants, or other aquarium-related products for sale.
  • Your own subforum in the CCA Marketplace, where you can advertise products, promotions, and special offers for club members.
  • Encouragement to participate in the CCA forum to share knowledge and engage with the community.

Tier II Sponsor - $150+ Annual Donation

With a minimum donation of $150 in cash, goods (at wholesale value), or services, you receive all Tier I benefits, plus:

  • Your logo displayed at the top of the CCA forum and social media pages, in rotation with other sponsors.

Tier III Sponsor - $250+ Annual Donation

With a minimum donation of $250 in cash, goods (at wholesale value), or services, you receive all Tier II benefits, plus:

  • At least one club-sponsored group buy per year for full club members.*
  • Promotion of your group buy on the CCA homepage and social media pages, with a direct link to your website.

*CCA Group Buys are coordinated by the CCA Board of Directors or their designees. Tier III Sponsors are entitled to at least one annual group buy at the club's convenience, though the club may also arrange group buys with non-sponsor vendors at its discretion. Local sponsors are encouraged to participate in club meetings, offering special orders or advance purchases for delivery at club events.

Underwater Appalachian Mountain Streams

I was viewing the YouTubes and found this really neat video of some folks that were trying to film minnow spawns in Appalachian streams. They got some great underwater shots, even with the cloudy water!

In person June 13, 2026 - CCA Group Auction @ John F. Kennedy High School: 1901 Randolph Rd, Wheaton-Glenmont, MD 20902

June 13, 2026 CCA In-person Auction

We have created an auction for the June 13, 2026 in-person CCA meeting. Users of the website must register on the CCA MyGroupAuction website: mygroupauctions.com. Sellers are encouraged to upload a photo of the fish/item to be auctioned. These items can be viewed by all registered users before the auction.

CCA's board of directors has voted to allow the use of the minimum bid space on the MY GROUP AUCTIONS (MGA) website. Specifically the BOD approved the use of the minimum bid in the following manner: Bidding for any item with a minimum bid on its label will start at that amount and proceed as normal for any auction. If the minimum bid is not met, the owner of the item will take the item back into his possession. If the owner is not present to take back his item that did not sell, the minimum bid indicated on the label will not be in effect and so there will be no minimum bid on the item.

Please try to bring something for the auction. If you can make it a donation, so much the better. It's our club. If we want to keep it healthy, we all need to play a role.

If you have any questions, please ask.
