The Marin Human Race, Saturday May 9:

We are thrilled to announce that this year will be our first time taking part in the Marin Human Race on  May 9th at the Marin Civic Center from 7 am till 11:30 am . It is a 5 K race, attended by dozens of Marin non-profit organizations for the purpose of raising money, awareness, and the sense of community that is so essential to a non-profit’s successful and continued operation. RDSHP will be sponsoring several runners, and we will also have an information booth.

If you would like to reach out to your friends and neighbors for a donation of sponsorship, money, time, and/or interest in RDSHP’s mission, we will gladly provide you with brochures, donation forms, and tax deductible receipts. We are very proud to have been selected by the Mill Valley Branch of the Tamalpais Bank as the charity that they are sponsoring this year for the Race. 

Checks are tax deductible, and may be made out to "Marin Human Race," Federal Tax ID# 68-0101012. Donations can be contributed online to the Richard de Lone Special Housing Project at the Marin Human Race website: www.marinhumanrace.org. No donation is too small ... or big!
