Benefiting the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership

About Showcase. . .

The Auxiliary has had a rich 38-year tradition in helping Marin communities through its annual Marin Designers Showcase, a fundraising event benefiting the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership and countless nonprofit organizations that serve the diverse needs of the people of Marin.

This year, the Auxiliary decided to take a much-needed break and planned a gala dinner-dance and auction as its fundraiser. Look for us to resume Showcase operations next year.

Proceeds from our fundraisers help the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership in its work throughout Marin. The Center is located in San Rafael and seeks to enrich and strengthen volunteerism and nonprofit organizations in its mission to develop a vital and engaged community dedicated to building and sustaining our quality of life.
