The highlight of the evening was hearing what each of these amazing organizations does in support of those in need throughout the Bay Area. For the first time, our funds are helping women, men, and families in all 9 Bay Area counties.

WHO WE HELP - Liz's story
 A transplant from Texas, Liz was diagnosed last year while living in Tahoe. Without insurance, she couldn't afford health care or rent, so she and her husband moved in with her sister in San Rafael. While she was in treatment, Liz found out about the Marin Center for Independent Living. MCIL helped her pay rent, buy food and pay bills. Early this year, she and her husband got an apartment, but due to complications from her surgery Liz was unable to work and she once again turned to MCIL. "When you work all your life and get a deadly disease and find yourself on food stamps, you have to leave your pride at the door. I feel so lucky to be alive today, all I can say is bless you all," says Liz.
