Annual Crab Feed at The Guardsmen Christmas Tree Lot

The Guardsmen turns great Bay Area nights into bright futures for under-resourced children.  Since 1947, our volunteer-powered members have funded two core programs: camperships (two weeks of outdoor education that build confidence and belonging) and scholarships that keep students in high-quality schools.  Each year we send ~2,500 children to camp and support ~250 children with scholarships across the Bay Area.  That’s roughly $2.125M—an annual community investment in Bay Area children.  When you buy a ticket, you fuel real outcomes.   Go beyond the ticket:donate today. $630 = 1 campership and $2,200 = 1 scholarship year.  Change Lives!  Proceeds from this event directly support these programs—Send Kids to Camp. Keep Them in School. Change Lives.The Guardsmenis committed to strong stewardship, so your gift goes further.   Every dollar raised fuels our mission.The Guardsmenis a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 94-1196194).  Tickets include goods/services; please see your receipt for fair market value (FMV) details.
