Raffle for Marin 'Dream House' benefits charity

Raffle for Marin 'Dream House' benefits charity: "Two years ago, the organization started raffling off houses to raise funds for its programs. Since then, the idea has become a popular way to raise money for charitable organizations. Last year, the house raffle netted $1.2 million, said Gail Theller, the group's executive director. The year before that it was $1.6 million.

The house this year was donated by Tom Monahan of Monahan Pacific, a Bay Area commercial and residential development firm headquartered in San Rafael. A longtime supporter of CAM, Monahan told the group to take its pick of the dozen or so new homes in Drake's Cove, his gated, upscale subdivision on a hill near the edge of the bay."
