PINER Crab Feed!

SATURDAY – January 27, 2024!

Mark your calendars for JANUARY 27, 2024, for Piner’s annual crab feed at the Friedman Center in Santa Rosa. The event is Piner’s biggest FUNDRAISER with proceeds shared by the Boosters, Foundation, and Athletic Hall of Fame, raising thousands of dollars, supporting Prospector sports, providing grants to teachers for sustainable classroom improvements and projects; and honoring student athletes, teams and coaches.

The crab feed is also a reunion for many, where classmates, friends, and families gather together, winning awesome raffle and silent auction prizes while enjoying delicious food prepared and served by the Piner Culinary Department. Tickets will go on sale at Oliver’s Markets in mid-December. OR, tickets can be purchased by returning the crab feed form (see below in the pic) with checks made out to the Piner Athletic Hall of Fame, mailed to P.O.Box 12284, Santa Rosa, CA 95406. We look forward to seeing you in January!!

About

In the March of 2005 Jim Underhill, Steve Casperson, Dave Albritton and Jim Lanz all attended the Santa Rosa Junior College Hall of Fame. When they met at the dinner the conversation quickly turned to a single topic. We all asked what it would take to create a Hall of Fame at Piner. With over 40 years of history the time seemed right.

In May of 2005 we held our first meeting. The committee included Bob Zeni, Jan Hansen, Lee Torliatt and Randy Nunes along with the alumni mentioned above. By July our committee members had grown to include the ranks of Betty Castino and Martha Menth. We were ready to begin and wasted no time starting.

In our first three years of existence our fundraising has generated over $25,000 for Piner. In 2007 we established a crab feed with the Boosters and Foundation that in two years added an additional $26,000 to Piner’s fundraising endeavors.
