Thank You for a Record-Breaking Crab Fest!

Our annual Crab Fest was a resounding success, bringing together members, partners, and the community for a memorable evening filled with delicious food, drinks, desserts, and generous giving. This year’s event marked a record-breaking achievement, raising an unprecedented level of donations for the Marin Builders Association Scholarship Program and Workforce Training fund. The overwhelming support underscores the community’s shared commitment to strengthening the future of the building industry through education, training, and opportunity.

Guests enjoyed an exceptional culinary experience and lively atmosphere, making the evening both festive and meaningful. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended, donated, and helped sponsor this year’s Crab Fest. Your support is what made this incredible outcome possible.

Special thanks go to the many individuals and teams who helped bring the event to life. Thank you to our Crab Fest Sponsors (see below) and Cornerstone Partners for their support and generosity that make this event possible! We'd also like to thank our wonderful vendors and partners, including: Khadija, James, and their crew with Limelight Productions; Melinda Durfee with the Bill and Adele Jonas Center/College of Marin; Stacy Scott with The Art of Good Taste and her team for the delicious food; and our energetic and engaging auctioneer, Phil Trau with Pure Energy!

Additional special recognition goes to our incredible office manager, Paula Krause, celebrating retirement next month after 37 years of leadership, dedication, and love for the Marin Builders Association. We'd also like to recognize and thank both our staff and our incredible Board of Directors for their generosity and support behind the scenes.

We are truly grateful for the enthusiasm and support expressed by our community. This was by far our most successful Crab Fest yet and we are already looking forward to the next one! With such strong momentum and support, we are honored to continue investing into programs to help build the future of Marin's construction industry.

From all of us at Marin Builders Association, thank you for all that you do to help build our community!
