The paparazzi will be out in force and autograph seekers on hand when The Preuss School at the University of California, San Diego, stages “A Night on Broadway” Oct. 28 as its third annual benefit at the Evans Garage, Old Pacific Highway.

Search lights will mark the site for some 250 guests expected to walk a red carpet into the “garage,” renowned for its collection of classic cars. Proceeds from the event will benefit four aspects of the school: student transportation; math, science and engineering studies; mentoring and tutoring assistance, and visual and performing arts.

Preuss School students will perform a “Broadway Review” as one of the highlights of the dinner event, which also will include tours of the world-class collection of antique cars and dancing to the Barry Allen Cohen Orchestra.

Serving as co-chairs are Hank and Robin Nordhoff and Fiona Tudor.

Reservations are available by calling (858) 534-1404.

Funds raised during the Preuss School “Classic Cars for Classic Kids” event contribute to the $1 billion fundraising goal of The Campaign for UCSD: Imagine What’s Next.

Jointly chartered by the San Diego Unified School District and the University of California, San Diego, The Preuss School opened in 1999 to provide an intensive college preparatory curriculum to low income student populations and to improve educational practices in the middle and high school years. Located on the UCSD campus in a $14 million facility funded entirely by community donors, the school is now fully enrolled with 782 students in grades 6 through 12. In the graduating class of 2005, 91 percent of Preuss School students were admitted to four-year universities, 43 percent are attending a UC campus, and 13 percent are attending prestigious private colleges.
