The event has been renamed in honor of the late philanthropist Conrad Prebys. La Mesa residents Ron and Mary Alice Brady will also be recognized on Feb. 25. The event raises funds to meet the financial demands to provide programs and activities for the 3,000 children served annually at the five clubhouse sites in East County.
