Thanks to all of you… the Crab Feast was a success!
Initial totals are in, and we made…

$30,000!

We couldn’t have done it without the support of the entire PAB and Willow Glen Community.

Congratulations to Debbi Santina and Dawn Talley our event Co-Chairs and their scores of volunteers for pulling together a fabulously successful event. Congratulations to Heather Giddens who headed up the CHAIRity Raffle Team and Joanie Schuller who ran the Auction Team and all their committee members who worked tirelessly with our wonderful local business supporters.

Thank you also to Tom & Wendy Bowman the kitchen chiefs and their whole crew, Connie Bantillo and her team of over 70 students and Mike Jennette our ticket sales guru and Eva Sprintz our program wizard. Thank you to our set-up crew and everyone who gave up some or all of their crab and party time to work at the event.

Thank you to our PA teachers & Directors Sarah Duarte, Kenny Williams, Patrick Sieler, Steve Dini & Robert Lopez for all the work you put in for our kids and for this event. Thank you for the amazing support our two Principals Shannon McGee & Kaia Hamilton, our School Board Member Pam Foley and our City Council Member Pierluigi Oliverio. Thank you to Denise who still provides our crab connection even though her kids have graduated. Thank you to people like Laurie Toscano and Kim Kunde, and many others who helped even though they don’t have kids in the performing arts programs. And behind all these folks were countless others who helped in ways large and small. Thank you to you all.

We are so very grateful to our many wonderful donors listed below. But everyone who attended the event or even just bought a $1 raffle ticket did their part. We couldn’t have done it without any of you. Finally I am grateful to the way Willow Glen as a community has come together to support our event and performing arts in our neighborhood Middle and High school.

I take my hat off to you all!
