Last Saturday night, Rosary’s beloved Cracked Crab finally returned to campus for the 41st year. The tradition found its way outdoors for the first time, providing guests with a beautiful night under the stars.

Spirits were high as each of Rosary’s athletic teams set up booths filled with Rosary gear and raffle opportunities to raise money. The air smelled of delicious seafood and searing steak, and the campus slowly came to life.

As guests began to arrive, they were greeted by a DJ, a photo booth, the athletic teams, a silent auction, and the smiling faces of fellow Rosary supporters. Dusk settled across campus, and guests assumed their seats to be served a delicious dinner of steak, bratwurst, salad, beans, potatoes, and most importantly, crab.

Some of the Rosary Ambassadors and ASB helped to serve around 500 guests. Bridgette Sanders ’23 expressed, “I loved serving dinner and getting to see so many smiling faces gathered together again!”

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and supporters, Rosary was able to raise over $140,000. We’re so grateful to all who attended and are already looking forward to next year!
