A Girlfriend Factor “Cabana Boy” is our loving term for community-minded men who help our organization grow by lending their name and leveraging a few of their resources to create an auction package for our annual fundraising event, Club Cabana. In turn we celebrate these outstanding men of character in all of our promotion for the event and online. At the event, we will crown the Big Kahuna, the coveted title given to the man who helps us raise the most money with their auction package.

Dylan McCrum

Dylan McCrum

Paramedic & Firefighter

Dylan grew up in Napa, but he didn’t develop a passion for wine (he was actually a beer guy until he met his wife!). Instead Dylan found his real calling was offering care and compassion to others. Dylan’s been a dedicated healthcare professional for nineteen years, serving his community as a paramedic and a firefighter. When Dylan isn’t saving lives you can find him rocking out on his guitar! He is an accomplished musician, singer and songwriter, and you can catch him belting out his original ballad “Big Man Sonoma” at one of the valley’s open mic nights. Above all, Dylan’s biggest accomplishment is his family. He is a proud husband and father to two young boys.
