Please join our family-friendly dance extravaganza at Marin Foster Care's inaugural Dance-a-Thon held at the Corte Madera Community Center on Saturday, May 21 from 4:30 - 7pm to benefit Marin County's foster children in care.

Fun face-painting, live DJ music, Dance Choreography by Luv2Dance & Stop Drop & Dance , Raffle Prizes, Kids Sundae Making and Fun Surprises.   The afternoon is designed as a tangible way to get children of all ages involved in the act of philanthropy while building community and supporting our local foster youth.

Did you know?

Every year in Marin County over 100 children aged newborn to young adult have open cases in the dependency system and dozens of families are impacted by trauma associated with abuse and neglect.  Due to a shortage of foster homes in Marin, about ¼ of our children (mostly teens) have to be placed out of county. Yet the face of foster care in Marin remains shadowed.  Please help raise awareness and support the children in our community.

MFCA’s fundraising efforts focus on continuing programs that ensure:

• Every Marin foster child has access to funds for tutoring and enrichment

• Marin foster children receive needed clothing, toys and sports equipment, school and safety supplies 

• Marin foster caregivers have training and assistance navigating the complex dependency system

• Marin foster children and their caregivers enjoy community-building events and outings

• Marin foster children and their caregivers have an active, informed advocate in their community
