Thank You Perry’s in Larkspur!

Shake…shake…shake

Schurig Center would like to extend a big thank you to Perry’s in Larkspur for hosting our guest bartender, Kati Miller, for an evening in late July.

Kati learned the art of mixology on the fly from Perry’s skilled bartending staff and honed her cocktail shaking skills. Martinis… cosmos… margaritas… she was making ’em all with a huge smile all night.

You might not be able to tell from the photo, but Kati had some serious fun!

We are also grateful for all the guests who came out to help Kati shake things up for the evening and to show their support for Perry’s and Schurig Center. Perry himself even joined in on the fun with us.

Kati donated all of her hard earned tips from the evening to Schurig Center!

We hope you will join us in thanking community-minded businesses, like Perry’s, by stopping by for a yummy bite to eat and a drink soon!

Thank You 2017 BAM Gala Supporters!

With your help, we raised over $150,000 to support the Karen G. Schurig Scholarship Fund!

Karen was the founder and former executive director of Schurig Center. It was her belief that no one should be denied access to our programs and services due to a lack of financial resources. Today, over 70% of the individuals who receive our support are reliant on this fund.

I also wanted to share with you that the Gala Committee worked very hard to provide a memorable evening while keeping event costs at a minimum – ensuring that 80 cents of every dollar raised went to the scholarship fund.

We hope you enjoyed the powerful testimonials, beautiful location, decorations, Master of Ceremonies Maria Ross, and the fabulous music provided by the Amanda Addleman Band and Zan Stewart and Eric Holder. We invite you enjoy some photos from the night of the event here.

I’d like to personally invite you to join us once again for our 2018 event, which is scheduled for the evening of Saturday, March 3, 2018. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available now. It’s going to be another memorable evening you won’t want to miss!

With gratitude,

Patricia Gill
Executive Director
