Your gift helps people thrive after brain injury!
“About Health with Nurse Rona Renner” on KPFA 94.1
A stroke happens every 40 seconds in the U.S. and is the fifth leading cause of death, killing about 140,000 Americans each year.
Recovery from a stroke is a life long process, and there are many people, like Nurse Rona Renner’s guests, Dr. Diane Barnes and Patricia Gill, Schurig Center’s Executive Director, who have stories to offer of hope and recovery.

Be sure to purchase your “early bird” tickets for the BAM Gala soon, as the deadline is March 17! Early bird tickets are $150; after March 17, standard tickets are $200. The event will be held Saturday, April 8, 2017 at the Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael. Visit the BAM Gala page for complete details. Tickets may be purchased any time before April 1 online or by calling our office at (415) 461-6771.
As always, proceeds from the Gala will benefit a scholarship fund for Schurig Center clients. Karen Schurig, our founder, believed no one should be turned away from programs and services due to lack of financial resources. Your support is essential in helping us keep Karen’s vision alive. (And when you purchase a ticket, all but $40 of the cost is a tax-deductible donation. A win-win!)
The Gala will feature cocktails and a delicious buffet dinner, live music, a silent auction, a raffle, and our own Schurig Center client art gallery. During the program, we will honor Dr. Eric Freitag and Shari Weiser, recipients of the 2017 Creating Connections Award. Dr. Freitag and Ms. Weiser are being honored for working to improve the quality of life for those with brain injuries. Please join us in celebrating their achievements.
Many thanks to our generous corporate sponsors and individual donors — we couldn’t do it without you! (Please see the BAM Gala page for a complete list.)
We hope to see you at the Gala!
