The Preuss Foundation "First Impressions Gala"

The Preuss Foundation's premiere benefit gala, First Impressions, chaired by Peggy Preuss, was held February 24, 1990 at the Sheraton Grande-Torrey Pines Hotel in LaJolla, California. This event was a stunning success, raising more than $140,000 for primary brain tumor research. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Preuss announced at the gala that one hundred percent of the funds raised would go directly to research scientists and that they were personally absorbing the costs of the event.

The Preuss Foundation wishes to extend its thanks to those individuals and companies who helped make First Impressions a great success.
