About this Event

You are cordially invited to our FIRST Annual Res Carpet Charity event, “Changing Lives Holiday Experience” to benefit NAMI Marin.

Mental health affects everyone and our collective mental health needs are at their greatest now. One in three U.S. adults reported experiencing depression or anxiety since the pandemic began.

As a non-profit organization and a local affiliate for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), NAMI Marin has been serving Marin County since 1979 by providing support, education and advocacy to all families in Marin who are struggling to improve and maintain their mental wellness. NAMI’s programs and advocacy are needed more than ever. With your help and through partnership with local businesses, we are striving to make our community a better place.

Our “Changing Lives Holiday Experience” will take place on Saturday, December 11, 2021 at the newly remodeled Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael.

Join us and enjoy a holiday themed gala with an exquisite three course meal, no host bar, silent auction, live auction, music, dancing and more for an unforgettable evening as we raise funds to help NAMI Marin provide compassionate support and programs to families.
