It takes the efforts of many to make Marin and the Bay Area a better place. As the holiday season begins, many in the community turn their attention to those in need and business owners are no exception. Here at Marin Magazine we would like to take a moment to recognize and highlight the philanthropic efforts of our business partners. Here are some nonprofits and business owners that are giving back to the community.

Helping Marin’s Concussion and Stroke Survivors Thrive
Coldwell Banker REALTOR® Kim Strub supports the mission of Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery. “At Schurig Center, we believe everyone deserves to live their best life and have access to continued rehabilitation, regardless of their financial ability. With a brain injury happening every 15 seconds from an accident, concussion, or stroke, there is a growing need for programs that help survivors and their families,” shares Kim.
Schurig Center is at the forefront of brain injury recovery, filling gaps in care with an array of services found nowhere else in our area and designed by an experienced team of professionals. Their innovative concussion services are considered a model program, recently being showcased at conferences locally and abroad. Schurig Center is also a member of ConcussionSmart Marin, a county-wide coalition aimed at protecting Marin’s youth.
“I support Schurig Center because it matters so much to the people who need it. It’s an innovative organization that Marin is lucky to have. Please join me in supporting this critically- needed nonprofit. Help people not only survive, but thrive.”
