Out on the town this August? Here are some of the most fun and fabulous local galas, fundraisers, celebrations and other events to see and be seen at this month around Marin County.
July through Mid-August Ritter Center Hands Out Backpacks to Schoolkids
Every summer before school starts, Ritter Center gives students backpacks filled with essential school supplies and a $100 gift card for new school apparel. Ritter Center is dedicated to assisting people living in poverty and/or experiencing homelessness in Marin County, and providing school supplies can hugely impact families while prices continue to rise.
