The TRCP's Capital Conservation Awards Dinner brings together conservationists, elected officials, policymakers, and business leaders who share a commitment to our hunting and fishing traditions. It is a chance to celebrate that conservation is, and always has been, bipartisan and uniquely American. 

The event also features an exciting silent auction, sweepstakes, and raffle with the opportunity to take home some of the best in hunting and fishing trips and gear. The CCAD is one of Washington's best-attended conservation celebrations, regularly attracting more than 30 members of Congress, as well as senior Administration officials including cabinet secretaries.
