The Rotary Club of Savannah South announces its 2024 Crab Race Fundraiser and live auction to benefit P.A.C.K, and other local charities and community projects. 

The Race and Auction will be held on Saturday, February 17, 2024 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Coaches Corner on Victory Drive in Thunderbolt.

“We hope people will come out to the 2024 Crab Race and support local programs for children,” said Lisa Birch, the Event Chair and a member of the Rotary Club of Savannah South. “For a $100.00 donation, particpants will be able to race a crab, get a commemorative T-shirt and enjoy some of the fabulous food that Coaches Corner is known for. Children under 10, with registered parents, race for free. To join the event as a spectator, there is a $25 entry fee, for those 11 and older.”

The live auction will include the auctioning of a trip to Italy, a trip to Antigua, and a trip to South Africa. Proceeds from the Race and Auction will benefit several charities, including P.A.C.K. of Savannah, an all volunteer, non-profit in Savannah. The organization packs and delivers 16,000 bags of food each month to children in 37 local schools, community centers and emergency shelters for children.

Additional proceeds will also benefit the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), an intensive leadership experience that Savannah South will sponsor high school students to attend, and other local charities, including the Boy Scouts, and club community projects.
