Anne Bowen for Sponsoring
the Walk of Rememberance

Along the shaded woodland walk to the clambake, blank signs that hold a marker give guests an opportunity to honor loved ones struck by cancer by recording names, memories, hopes and more. The Walk of Remembrance is a moving tribute to brave survivors, those living with a cancer diagnosis and honors those we have lost to cancer. Please be sure to stop and jot a remembrance or read the loving tributes left by others.

The Congregational Church of Salisbury for sponsoring the Land Lover’s Tent

For our non-seafood eaters, the Land Lover’s Tent offers a delightful variety of options to include hamburgers, hot dogs,grilled chicken sandwiches and a vegie burger. It’s a popular spot for seafood eaters to dine while awaiting the main meal and for our non-seafood eaters!

Northwell Health for sponsoring the Music Circle

As you enter the clambake, one of the sounds you will hear is the extraordinary music circle made up of local musicians who just want to jam together! Eliot Osborn and friends gather together every year to entertain our guests and never disappoint. Many thanks to Nuvance Health!

NBT Bank for their sponsorship of the Clambake's Kiln

The Kiln is the heart and soul of the Clambake. Clambake ingredients are prepared on a hand-built kiln of stone, wood, and seaweed. This one-of-a-kind kiln creates an enormous fire pit on which the lobsters, local corn, potatoes, and clams are cooked. The dramatic roaring blaze is the centerpiece of the clambake and is being underwritten by the generous sponsorship from NBT Bank

Friends of the Fund and Lundeen Brothers, LLC for sponsoring the Ice Cream Truck

After a mouthwatering feast of outrageously tantalizing lobsters, chowder, clams, and more, Clambake guests flock to the Sharon Fire Company's ice cream truck, where they indulge in sweet treats for ice cream lovers of all ages! What better way to end a delicious meal?

Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP for Sponsoring the Beer and Wine Tent

The Beer & Wine Tent: A traditional New England Clambake is truly complete with a cold beverage in hand and as a community celebration, this tent is the nexus of the clambake. Friends gather (again and again!) to refresh and enjoy the good fortune of living in this community. Whether you're having a clambake meal, dropping by for a burger or dog, or just a beer or wine, this is the gathering spot for all!
Thank you
Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP!

Elyse Harney Real Estate for Sponsoring the Chowder Tent

The perfect preamble to the seafood medley that awaits, the Chowder Tent is the first stop for every hungry guest. Authentic, distinctly prepared, and outrageously delicious. The Chowder Tent attracts crowds throughout the event and sells out every year! Thank you to Elyse Harney Real Estate!

Thank you to these generous 2026 sponsors and donors!

“I volunteer because I am a cancer survivor. Janie used to babysit my children and we all loved her. The clambake is a community event and as a community and a family and we do what we can to support each other.”
