January 20, 2018 Moraga Lion's Club 37th Annual Crabfeed
This 240 ticket event earns the Lions Share of the funds we use to help many non-profits through-out the course of the year. We were able to donate $20,000 to the Blind Centers on Pittsburg and Oakland in 2014 largely from proceeds from this event. It is a raucous fundraiser where the Leos provide service as waiting staff and wonderful prizes are accumulated from the community.
The faire served includes:
Crab, pasta, salad
No Host Bar
Silent Auction
Live Auction
Crab, fantastic auction items, fun for the family and all for a great cause!!
