Marin Foster Care Association’s annual Blues & Brews extravaganza was held the weekend of October 6 and 7 at Pacheco Ranch Winery in Novato.
More than 360 guests attended the sold-out fundraising event that consisted of a paella themed dinner, live music, a live auction and an inspiring program.
The $375,000 raised during the weekend directly supports Marin foster youth and their caregivers.
Formed in 2003, the Marin Foster Care Association addresses the well-being of all children within the dependency system along with serving the full constituency of caregivers for that population. Along with its programs, it operates a community resource center on weekdays which provides items to foster families such as clothing and toys, all at no cost.
