UCF’s fishing club, Reel Knights, has teamed up with the Coastal Conservation Association of Florida to create a Knight’s chapter of the association.

The Coastal Conservation Association is a non-profit that works to preserve the Florida we know for the next generation through various sustainability practices.

This is one of the first college chapters of the CCA and with the support of sponsors like Costa, Bass PrAttachment-1 (1)o Shops and Carl Black Chevrolet the Knights chapter will host its first banquet.

Tickets are $40 for single admission or $70 for a couple’s ticket.  The ticket includes admission to the banquet, membership in the CCA, dinner catered from Ale House, access to the open bar, an event t-shirt, a Tervis Tumbler, participation in the silent auction and other raffle prizes.  The money raised will go towards funding the CCA’s efforts to conserve Florida’s vast fisheries.

President of Reel Knights, Ryan Hullihan, says the event welcomes everyone.

“The banquet is for everyone, not just the people at UCF who fish. The CCA’s banquets are always a great time and all the proceeds go towards helping sustain Florida’s many habitats.”

The banquet will take place on Thursday, April 23 at 6 p.m. Carl Black Chevrolet on Colonial Drive will host the event.

You can buy your ticket at the Reel Knights’ meeting located in HPA 125 on April 16 at 8 p.m. or you can purchase a ticket online at http://www.ccaflorida.org/index.php/cca-florida-chapters/knights.
