Since establishing a partnership with Marin Association of REALTORS® in 2018, SchoolsRule-Marin has received more than $60,000 in total contributions from Marin realtors, monies directly impacting every public student in the county. “These critical funds support vital programs in the areas of literacy, the arts, technology and health,” says Trisha Garlock, SchoolsRule board president. “The generosity of our realtor partners has made a significant difference in the lives of each of the 36,044 public school students countywide who benefit from these programs.”
“Our realtors want to give back to the community that they represent,” Romeo Arrieta, Marin REALTORS® chief executive officer, adds. “By supporting SchoolsRule, they are making an investment in the public schools, which are integral to the appeal of Marin, and they are also demonstrating their commitment to our kids, our larger community and our future.”
SchoolsRule is very appreciative of the continued support of Marin’s realtor community and to the following Sponsor Level Realtor Partners, whose collective generosity is helping to ensure all students, in all of Marin’s public schools, have access to the very best educational opportunities and high-quality programs, regardless of current circumstances or ZIP code:
