National Bohemian Beer Company announced Tuesday the roll out of its second annual summer Tabs for Crabs program. For each red, crab-etched can tab that is collected and returned before Oct. 1, National Bohemian will donate 10 cents to The Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s local blue crab research and habitat restoration efforts, with a total maximum donation goal of $10,000, according to a news release.

You might be one of thousands across the mid-Atlantic who helped contribute to the protection of local blue crab habitats.

National Bohemian Beer Company announced Wednesday that through its second Tabs for Crabs program, consumers collected and returned more than 90,000 red, crab-etched tabs each worth a 10-cent donation to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Save the Bay mission.

With Natty Boh covering the difference of its 100,000-tab goal, the company's donation toward improving the bay's water quality totaled $10,000.

“We love that the community again embraced Tabs for Crabs and came together for a fun, easy way to do good and protect the beauty of our beloved regional landmark, the Chesapeake Bay,” said C-Mo Molloy, National Bohemian brand manager and Baltimore native, in the release.

The Tabs for Crabs program was active throughout crab season in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina and Washington D.C. from April 1 to Oct. 1, according to a news release.

Coming on the tail of the launch of Natty's Boh's first new beer in more than 30 years, the citrus summer seasonal Crab Shack Shandy, the release shows this year's program topped last year's 85,000-tab collection.

“The proceeds will help the foundation continue its environmental work to make sure there will be plenty of blue crabs to enjoy with cold National Bohemian beer in the future," said Taryn Dwan, director of stewardship and events for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, in the release.
