This cruise is just one example of the impactful programming and long-standing partnership between Annapolis families, Charting Careers (CC), and Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park (AMM) made possible in part through a $30,000 Building Bridges to Wellness grant provided by the Fund for Anne Arundel, through the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County.
