UCSD’S PREUSS SCHOOL TO HOLD BENEFIT NOV. 7; PUBLIC INVITED

The Preuss School at the University of California, San Diego, will hold its inaugural benefit, “Classic Cars for Classic Kids,” at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, at the Evans Garage to raise funds for jeopardized school bus transportation. The public is invited.

More than 700 Preuss School students depend on bus transportation to reach the campus each day, said Principal Doris Alvarez, but recent budget cuts have severely impacted the bus service.

“Classic Cars for Classic Kids” offers an opportunity to view a premier private collection of classic automotive gems at the Evans Garage. In addition to the showing, the event will include wine, hors d’oeuvres and music. Tickets are $150 and may be purchased by going online at http://preuss.ucsd.edu or by calling (858) 658-7285.

The Preuss School is a public middle and high school dedicated to providing an intensive college prep education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their families to graduate from college.
