2026 SASF Crab Feed: A Night of Community, Generosity, and Great Food
On Saturday, February 28, 2026, the SASF community came together once again for our 32nd annual Crab Feed, one of our most beloved and anticipated events of the year. Friends, families, supporters, and volunteers filled the room for an evening of crab, laughter, and spirited fundraising—all in support of SASF’s youth and community programs.
With over 800 guests in attendance, the evening was filled with energy, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to supporting opportunities for youth in our community. Events like the Crab Feed are always special, not only because of the incredible food and exciting raffle prizes, but because they bring people together in such a positive and meaningful way.
This year's event would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors and donors. Sponsorships help support the operation of the event and allow us to continue expanding the impact of our programs. Special appreciation to Sutter Health for their generous $15,000 VIP sponsorship and Phoong Law for their live auction donations that helped elevate the impact of the evening. We are also grateful to our Silver Sponsor, NovoMed Concierge Medicine ($2,500), and our Community Sponsors, Sacramento District Attorney Thien Ho and Golden 1 Home Loans ($1,000) for their continued support. Thank you as well to our T-Shirt Sponsors, Yee Law and Portfolio Real Estate, and our Bar Sponsors, Walsh Station Automotive Service and NWP, for helping create a fun and memorable night for everyone.
The raffle prizes and live auction items were once again a huge part of the evening, generating excitement throughout the room and helping raise additional funds for SASF programs. We are incredibly thankful to the many businesses and individuals who donated items, experiences, and gift certificates to help make the raffle such a success.
A special thank you goes to Samantha Tov, whose efforts were instrumental in organizing the event. From managing ticket sales and distribution to coordinating seating arrangements, overseeing the live auction and raffle, and handling countless other details, her planning and organization helped bring the entire event together. And of course, a tremendous thank you goes to Don Lee and his kitchen crew, who once again took care of all of the cooking. Preparing and serving food for over 800 guests is no small task, yet Don and the kitchen team made it look easy. As always, the food received countless compliments throughout the night.
This night would not have been possible without the many event staff, servers, and volunteers who donated their time and energy throughout the evening—whether helping with setup, serving guests, managing logistics, or keeping things running behind the scenes. Their willingness to give up their Saturday evening (and many hours leading up to the event) speaks volumes about the strength and generosity of our community.
THANK YOU to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and supported the event. It is always inspiring to see so many positive interactions among our supporters, and the impact of that support extends far beyond a single evening.
Because of your generosity, the 2026 SASF Crab Feed was not only a wonderful night of community celebration, but also a meaningful investment in the youth and families we serve.
