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,

Volunteer Spotlight: Paul Miller

Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery has been fortunate to have Paul Miller share his talent and enthusiasm for art as a weekly volunteer in our Art Studio for many years.

Paul was the Marin Independent Journal’s editorial cartoonist in the late 1960’s, later was the editorial and sports cartoonist for the Novato Advance for most of the 1970’s, has done cover cartoons for the Pacific Sun, and worked as a cartoonist illustrator for the Tiburon Ark. He has also had cartoons published in the San Francisco Chronicle as an “Image to the Editor” contributor.

A former Marine and a UCLA graduate, Paul taught a cartooning course in the College of Marin’s Art Department, where he was a full time faculty member in the English and Communications Departments for four decades.

Paul’s paintings and drawings can be found in private collections throughout the United States and abroad in France, London, and India.

The community at Schurig Center is deeply grateful for Paul’s dedication and contribution made over many years. He is a Marin Country treasure who has truly enriched the lives of many. Thank you, Paul!
