Event Details
Join us at the Marin Art and Garden Center on Saturday, May 17th, 2025 for an exciting spring gala dedicated to celebrating and honoring Marci and Marc Dollinger!
This year, we have the distinct privilege of honoring individuals whose dedication and impact extend far beyond the walls of Brandeis Marin. Marci and Marc have truly done it all - from being parents, to being on the Board of Trustees, to serving as our Board Presidents. Marci was even a beloved member of our teaching faculty. They have played pivotal roles in shaping and supporting countless institutions, leaving an indelible mark on Jewish education, our community, and Jewish life worldwide.
Marci and Marc's visionary leadership, unwavering commitment, and generosity have enriched the lives of so many, fostering growth and connection across generations and continents. By honoring them, we celebrate not only their profound contributions to our school but also their extraordinary influence on the global Jewish community. Their legacy inspires us all to work toward a stronger, more vibrant future for Jewish life everywhere.
More details are to come! Here's what you can count on though:
