Soroptimist Fundraising

Soroptimist's mission is to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. In order to accomplish this goal, Marin Soroptimists produces fund raising events in Marin County.
As a volunteer organization of business and professional women we feel uniquely qualified to help women and girls live their dreams and our events raise money to support these programs.
 

Our fundraising programs have provided many outstanding services:

  • Current project: First Responders Support Network’s program for life partners of first responders. (FRSN) mission is to provide treatment programs that promote recovery from stress and critical incidents for first responders and their families. Click here to learn more.
