IRVINE
The Irvine Public Schools Foundation, which recently raised $2.2 million to help keep music, arts, science and other programs from being cut this year, will host a reception tonight to honor those who took part in the fund-raising.
More than 2,300 donors and 18 major corporations pitched in to help fill a shortfall from the state, which would have resulted in $4 million in budget cuts for 2000-2001, according to Greg Bradbard, the foundation’s executive director.
The reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. at Irvine City Hall Plaza, 1 Civic Center Drive. Information: (949) 654-8250.
