Support the Crabs

The Humboldt Crabs are a non-profit, community-owned organization. We rely on the support of community members to keep our operation functioning. There are many ways community members can get involved with the Crabs, just a few of which are listed below. For more information on any of these, call us at (707) 826-2333 or e-mail info@humboldtcrabs.com.

When they come to town for the summer our Crabs players are in need of jobs. If you are interested in providing part-time work for these young men please contact Crabs Board Larry Zerlang at (707) 496-4802 or email him at larryzerlang8737@sbcglobal.net

Donate Dinner Auction Items

The annual Season Opening Dinner is our primary fundraiser for raising money to improve the Arcata Ball Park, and it includes a live and silent auction. Donating gift certificates, baskets, products or services of any value is a great way to support the Crabs. Contact Crabs Board Member Ellen Barthman at (707) 496-6787 or randalb@suddenlink.net
