Ratatouille, The Movie Premier :: Springtime in Paris Fundraiser Saturday Night

Because I’m one of the world’s biggest fans of all things Disney, here’s a fundraiser for the Bay Area: College Track Pixar Animation Studios hosts a preview of its newest animated movie, “Ratatouille.” This Springtime in Paris gala also features a cocktail reception, tours of the Pixar studio, dinner and a live auction followed by the screening.

The event raises funds for College Track (opening its third campus this summer in Bayview-Hunters Point) and its educational programs that help low-income students achieve academic excellence. Honorary co-chairmen: Mayor Ron Dellums, Mayor Gavin Newsom.
