200 N. San Pedro Road, San Rafael
Seating is limited, so reserve your seats today here!
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!
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
