What a difference a year makes when it comes to The CRAB Cup (voted Best Nonprofit Party by What’s Up? Annapolis readers in 2020), held on August 21st. Over 500 people at the post-race party had a lot left over in the gas tank and sails after a tough day on the water fighting the current. The event kicked off with the high-energy performers, The Naptown Brass Band, marching onto the Eastport Yacht Club back deck. They were immediately followed by Misspent Youth. CRAB’s importance to the community was recognized by guest elected officials: Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot, Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, Senator Sarah Elfreth, Mayor Gavin Buckley, and Aldermen Ross Arnett and Dujuan Gay. Kudos were offered by Title Sponsor Engel & Volkers Rick Foster for CRAB’s 30-years of service to all Marylanders with disabilities. There also was a great deal of buzz and promises for the new Adaptive Boating Center to be opened in 2022. The Skippers Challenge, live auction, silent auction, and raffle served to add to record proceeds for this year’s successful event.
