North Marin Community Services (NMCS) raised over $219,000 at its 17th annual Halloween fundraiser on Oct. 21. The “Back to the Future” themed virtual event included a live Fund-a-Need hosted by Sen. Mike McGuire, D-Healdsburg; a special message from Benita McLarin, director, Department of Health and Human Services for Marin County; and a DeLorean. Funds raised will support mental health and case management services. The lead sponsor for the event was Sutter Health. A $75,000 matching donation from Redwood Credit Union, Jim Duckworth and Roberta Dixon, and Sandro and Jeannie Sangiacomo doubled gifts made during the event.
