Pleasant Hill Police Officers Hosts Charity Crab Feed on Jan. 31

Giving back to the community they protect and serve, Pleasant Hill police officers are inviting the public to the 11th annual East Bay Crab Feed on Jan. 31.

Organized by the Pleasant Hill Police Officer’s Association, the all-you-can-eat crab feed is a fundraiser for Special Olympics Northern California and is sure to sell out.

Tickets – which include all-you-can-eat fresh, succulent crab, salad, pasta, dessert and more – are available for purchase at www.CrabFeedEastBay.com.

“The Pleasant Hill police officers really enjoy hosting and attending this event, as does the community,” Pleasant Hill Police Sergeant Gary Brown said. “It’s always a really fun evening with delicious food, and all for a great cause. All funds raised made a direct impact on the Special Olympics athletes in our neighborhoods.”

The crab feed will be held Jan. 31, 2015, at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church at 1601 Mary Drive in Pleasant Hill. The evening will also include a thrilling live auction, a raffle and a silent auction. Guests can also indulge in a no-host prawn bar and beer, wine, soda and bottled water will be available for purchase.

Tickets are $40 a person or $320 for a table of eight. All-you-can-eat fresh, succulent crab, salad, pasta, bread and dessert are included in the price of admission. Seating is limited to just 250 and is assigned. Event sponsorship is currently available and interested parties may contact Katie Ostrom at KatieO@SONC.org.

The Pleasant Hill officers who are fundraising with this event are part of Law Enforcement Torch Run, which is the largest year-round fund-raising vehicle benefiting Special Olympics Northern California.

Officers representing every branch of law enforcement partner with their communities to support Special Olympics Programs through raising funds and public awareness, while enhancing the quality of life of Special Olympics athletes. The officers serve as fundraisers and role models for the athletes.
