On Feb. 8, the Marin Valentine’s Ball celebrated its 24th year of supporting local organizations that serve vulnerable young people in the community. Proceeds from the ball benefited The Godmothers of St. Vincent’s School for Boys, North Bay Children’s Center and Side by Side. A record $400,000 was raised at this year’s event. Marin resident Carol Roeder and her son Chris Roeder (pictured, above) were the recipients of this year’s Hal Brown in Memorial Philanthropy Award for their many years of philanthropic support to children and youth in our community, including their contributions to the Marin Valentine’s Ball. -Photo courtesy of Drew Altizer
