Crab Feed Nets Big Catch For Charity!

Members feasted on a sizable catch at CCAR’s annual crab feed last Friday and donated an equally sizeable sum for the CCAR Scholarship Foundation and CCAR Helping Hands. More than 250 CCAR members, affiliates, staff, and their guests enjoyed a buffet of crab and tri-tip while bidding on extraordinary auctions, raffles and delicious desserts!

Very special thanks go out to all those who planned and worked the event as well as all those who donate so generously to these important CCAR charities. Kudos to CCAR Affiliates & Events Committee: John Fondnazio – Chair, Jessica Evans – Vice Chair, Tracy Harrington, Donna Davis, Maria Kopf, Jayne Combs, Cherry Wade, Art Lotti, and Danny Levitt, and our event sponsors: Ashley Provost Design, CCRIM, Change Home Mortgage, Family Matters, First American Home Warranty, Green Escrow Services, Land Home Financial, WCR – Contra Costa, PMI Property Management, and Old Republic Home Protection, and CCAR’s annual sponsor: LeadHax/Bay Area Newsgroup. Great big thanks to all that helped make this event a success!
