| Parents Place in Marin—one of the county’s leading family resource centers—helps parents do the most important job in the world: raising their kids. Every day, Marin families find solutions to the challenges they face through:
• Parenting coaching and consultation
• Educational workshops that offer practical assistance
• Play groups and activity programs
• Guidance for children of all ages and developmental paths
• Family counseling services
Your support of Parents Place means that Marin families in need can access these life-changing programs: Making sure that a child with learning disabilities receives a timely assessment and effective treatment. Helping a single parent on a fixed income manage her son, who has been acting out at school. Counseling a young child who has just lost her mother. Offering help and hope to all who come for support, counsel, treatment, and expert advice. That’s what Parents Place is all about.
You can make a difference in the lives of families in our community by supporting Parents Place when you register for the Marin Marathon. To get started, go to www.marinmarathon.com. From there, you can also create a personal fundraising Web page. We’ll give you all the tools you need to ask family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors to sponsor you.
Step by step, mile by mile, you’ll be helping families get the support they need to stay on track as they aim for the finish line: raising strong, happy, and healthy children.
