Athletics: Steak & Crab Fest

CMU Wrestling Steak & Crab Fundraiser

Saturday, October 4th from 2pm – 6pm | Lincoln Park

Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon at the 19th Annual CMU Wrestling Steak & Crab Fundraiser, sponsored by Bank of Colorado, supporting both men’s and women’s wrestling programs at Colorado Mesa University! Savor all-you-can-eat grilled steak, steamed and smoked crab, shrimp, sausage, baked potatoes, Texas toast, delicous desserts, and a variety of beverages (non-alcoholic, plus beer and seltzer for those 21+). Our athletes will serve you, bringing team spirit to every plate!

Last year, we welcomed over 1,400 guests, with 80 athletes serving 1,400 pounds of crab legs and 1,000 pounds of steak, backed by 40+ business sponsors. We gave away $3,000 in prizes, announced by Ty Morgan from The Moose. In 2025, we’re aiming even higher, and we want YOU to join us!
