Order for your family, friends, neighbors, and staff.
Crabs will be fresh-steamed onsite and packaged for travel. When you order online, you’ll specify your pick-up time at the stadium in half-hour increments from 4:30 to 7:00pm.
Rotarians wearing PPE will direct vehicles to designated spots in the parking lot and deliver your order directly to your car without you getting out.
Net proceeds will be promptly granted to local nonprofit organizations in this increased time of need in our community.
