IN HONOR OF TRACEY LURIE-SKLAR

Tracey Lurie-Sklar was a teacher, mother, daughter, sister and community leader. Born in Africa on June 13, 1962, Tracey passed away on November 6, 2008. The run is in honor of her work with students both in the US and abroad and her spirit.

THE CAUSES

Teach with Africa is a San Francisco-based non-profit that works to break down the economic and social barriers to education in Africa by sending teams of educators to implement projects in underserved communities through an exchange of teaching and learning.

Building Blocks is based in Bangalore, India and provides a proactive pre-school program to give slum children a good foundation in English language, arithmetic, general science, social and practical life skills at an early age of 3½ years through a fun, comprehensive curriculum.

THE COURSE

The run is a 5.7 Km mile out-and-back course from the parking lot of the St. Francis Yacht Club along Crissy Field to the turnaround point at Fort Point.  People can run or walk and are not required to go the full distance.
