PL couple to be honored by The Preuss School Point Loma residents Malin and Roberta Burnham will be honored on Saturday, April 21 for their longtime support of The Preuss School UCSD — a charter middle and high school for motivated, low-income students on the UC San Diego campus. The Burnhams will be recognized at “The Preuss School Promise: Lives Transformed,” a fundraising benefit for the school and its students.  The Burnhams are also longtime supporters of many other charitable causes throughout San Diego. Malin Burnham is also a member of The Preuss School Founders Circle. After cocktails at 6:30 p.m., dinner follows with a musical performance by teacher and classical mandolinist Oscar Ramos, who will play Vivaldi’s Mandolin Concerto in C with Preuss music students. Ramos and the students will be accompanied by world-renowned pianist Cecil Lytle, professor emeritus of music at UC San Diego and former provost of Thurgood Marshall College. Speakers will include Kelly Kovacic, chair of the Social Studies Department and 2010 California Teacher of the Year, and Jawid Habib, a Preuss alumnus and current law student at UCLA. Habib is the son of Afghan refugees who fled the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and later settled in San Diego. The benefit will also feature a live auction with a variety of items up for bid.
