New Board of Directors Chair and Vice Chair Appointed

[Download press release here]

Schurig Center is honored to have an engaged, caring Board of Directors at our helm with expertise from an array of fields, including finance, healthcare, legal, human resources, civic leadership, and philanthropy. Throughout the year, Board members volunteer their time to ensure Schurig Center is offering high-quality services that meet the community’s needs. As we know all too well, life brings change. Our long-time Chair Kim Strub resigned from her post after 12 years of leadership. We thank Kim for all she has done for Schurig Center and the people we serve. Her positive impact will be felt for many years to come. We are honored to announce Catherine Way and Ellen Takayama have been appointed as the new Board leaders, guiding Schurig Center to more great things this year.

Thank You for Your Service Kim Strub

After 12 years of service, Kim Strub has resigned from her role as Schurig’s Board Chair. Kim joined the Board in 2010 as the organization was transitioning from the loss of founder Karen Schurig. Over her term, Kim led the organization through multiple transitions and donated hundreds of hours of her time to ensure Schurig Center is a successful, respected organization that provides high quality care to everyone served. Kim creates connections in all that she does and truly offered her heart and soul to this community. We are deeply grateful! Kim will continue to support Schurig Center as an Advisory Board member.

Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery is honored to have been chosen to receive a $10,000 grant from the Giving Marin Community Partnership. This grant will help provide operating support for Schurig Center’s array of rehabilitative and supportive services for people living with the effects of a brain injury, concussion or stroke. On February 9, 2022, Schurig Center along with 10 other Marin non-profits gathered at the new Jonas Center at College of Marin’s Indian Valley Campus for a check presentation and celebration.

Now in its fourth year, Giving Marin has provided no-cost marketing to nearly 300 nonprofits based in Marin County, served more than 16 million digital ad impressions promoting nonprofits, and has awarded $270,000 in grants.

Schurig Center’s community of survivors and family caregivers is deeply grateful to be acknowledged by the Giving Marin Community Partnership with this generous grant.

Giving Tuesday is November 30, 2021

On this global day of giving, join us in celebrating the unsung heroes who give every day… FAMILY CAREGIVERS

Giving Tuesday inspires millions of people across the globe to give and make positive change in our communities. This year, Schurig Center would like to honor the caregivers who keep our families and communities strong, each and every day.

When someone experiences a brain injury, it doesn’t just happen to them. It affects their entire family. At Schurig Center, we see first-hand the daily commitment, time, and support family caregivers provide for their loved one living with a brain injury. This care is tirelessly given while they also balance daily work, financial, and family responsibilities. Please join us in thanking and giving back to these heroes by making a donation or fundraising for Schurig Center on Giving Tuesday.

Help us raise $10,000 in 24 hours on November 30 for
Schurig Center’s supportive services for family caregivers.

Your generosity will help provide family members and caregivers with support groups, respite, consultation and guidance, resource referral assistance, brain injury education, and a supportive partner who understands the unique challenges of life after brain injury.
