📣 Big news from First Tee – Contra Costa!
We’re thrilled to share the next chapter of our annual fundraiser. After more than 10 years of the Crab Feed, our event is evolving into the Swing Fore Success Gala — a polished, elevated evening celebrating youth, character, and community impact.
On Friday, February 6, 2026, we’ll gather at the beautiful Events Center in Rossmoor in #WalnutCreek for an inspiring night featuring:
• A curated dinner
• Live auction with Steve Haworth
• Silent auction with our most exciting items yet
• Professional photography & videography
• A red-carpet step-and-repeat
• Stories from First Tee participants
• Special guest speaker Mike Pawlawski, former NFL quarterback & Cal Football Hall of Famer
• And hosted by John Collins, The Paper Airplane Guy
💚 Right now, we’re seeking #AuctionItem Donations.
Sports memorabilia (verified), event tickets, overnight getaways, wine, services, local experiences, etc. — all make a huge impact.
