HIGHLIGHTS: Walton helps Challenged Athletes Foundation The Colosseum Fine Arts gallery will host a benefit for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) on Saturday, Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. with the help of basketball legend Bill Walton and artist Danny Day. Day’s artwork, along with that of several others, including Jane Seymour, will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds going toward the CAF, which helps people with physical disabilities become involved in athletic sports. In addition to the CAF fundraising gallery benefit, the Tour de Cove spin-cycling fundraiser will be held Oct. 24 at La Jolla Cove and is open for registration at www.tourdecove2010.kintera.org. For more information regarding the CAF art benefit at the Colosseum Fine Art gallery, 7946 Ivanhoe Ave., call (619) 795-3704 or visit www.challengedathletes.org. Wine tasting magic show duo is Friday The Neurosciences Institute presents a wine-tasting and magic show extravaganza. World-renowned magician Mark Mitton will perform, but before the magic is underway, institute founder and Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman will share insight about the science behind illusion and the brain’s perception of magic. The event will raise funds for the institute’s ground-breaking research on how the brain works. For $50, guests will also get to sip wine from several select wineries while enjoying outdoor ambience and the institute’s architectural beauty.
