Garcia Helmets Big Hit at Cioppino Feed

More than 1,000 people paid $50 for the chance to eat crab, dance to Shaboom and bid on various auction items. Nearly 200 volunteers helped the event run smoothly, Daley added. The auction of the helmets, sports memorabilia and other items raised almost $8,000 dollars.
Through the years, the event has raised nearly $500,000 to offset the costs of running the athletic program at the high school. A total amount raised was as yet unavailable, Daley said.
