– early sellout risk is high. Most of all join us for fun, new friends, a great harbor view – all for charity. The FMBA was formed by businesses in 1998 to give to charities as well as support the businesses of SoBo. The organization has been holding “feasts” for 12 years running, 7 starring crabs. During these challenging times, FMBA members are determined to throw the best crab feast ever. Past donation recipients include The Baltimore Station, SOBER (South Baltimore Emergency Relief Inc.), S. Baltimore Learning Center, Slam Poetry Program at Federal Hill Prep, Outreach Learning Center, Fort McHenry Defenders Day Fireworks, Local Soccer, and The BMI. Past sponsors include: M&T Bank, American Sugar Refining, ARC Environmental, General Ship Repair, and Tyco Telecommunications. Other local favorites The Baltimore Museum of Industry, Sign-A-Rama, ABC Party and Tent Rental, and Graphic Imaging are among the FMBA members that provide services in kind for sponsorship. In the future, look for more information on current and past sponsors on the FMBA web site. Crabs (Jumbo Crabs) are at the center of the FMBA event and Bud Gardners’s L.P. Steamers is at the heart of providing the Crabs. Gardner, a local Baltimore waterman all of his life, opened L.P. (Locust Point) Steamers in 1996. The Fort Ave. restaurant is ZAGAT rated and a secret weapon of concierges. Diners hail worldwide. We asked Bud why folks should buy tickets to the Crab Feast, “ …first, the people we help and the jumbo crabs, a real value.” That’s the spirit that embodies the FMBA.
