Marin Valentine’s Ball

Dear Friends,

Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Marin Valentine’s Ball on February 7 at the Marin Civic Center Exhibition Hall. This year’s ball proudly supported three local agencies: North Bay Children’s Center, the Godmothers of Catholic Charities of St. Vincent’s School for Boys, and Side by Side.

Your attendance and generosity helped raise an impressive $335,000 in support of vulnerable youth throughout Marin County. Your commitment makes a meaningful and lasting impact on their lives.

This year’s ball welcomed more than 350 guests for an evening of cocktails, a beautifully prepared dinner, an awards presentation honoring Omar Carrera, lively auctions, and a vibrant post‑dinner performance featuring Wonder Bread 5. A heartfelt thank‑you to our emcee, Liam Mayclem, for keeping the energy high with his signature wit and enthusiasm.

Happy Valentine’s Day—and we look forward to celebrating with you again next year!

Love,

Marin Valentine’s Ball 2026
