Join us for a crackin’ good night of great food, great company, and an even greater cause.
Crackin’ for Paws is Operation Freedom Paws’ annual crab feed fundraiser, bringing our community together to enjoy incredible food while supporting life-changing service dog teams. Guests can choose to dine in and enjoy the lively atmosphere or take their meal to go and enjoy it at home.
The evening will feature a silent auction filled with exciting items and experiences, a raffle with fun prizes, and a $20 wine pull, offering bottles you can enjoy during the event or take home with you. Prefer to bring your own wine? Guests are welcome to do so for a small corkage fee.
