Community Parties are a vital part of the fundraising that happens during the Silent Auction portion of the Bishop O’Dowd Crab Feed. These Parties are also an awesome way to build connections, strengthen our O'Dowd community, and raise funds for co-curricular clubs and teams! Please see the parties selling tickets this year!
