It is also dedicated to providing reliable, fact-based information so that prevention and the importance of early treatment are common knowledge. A pivotal donation from The LaureL STEM Fund covers overhead costs and allows for 100% of all donor contributions to Bay Area Lyme Foundation to go directly to research and prevention programs. Lyme disease is one of the most common vector-borne infectious diseases in the world. It is found in 65 countries and throughout the United States, with over 476,000 new cases each year in the US alone. And yet, Lyme research is significantly underfunded relative to other comparable diseases. Our goal is to fill that void and accelerate the pace of new drug and diagnostic development in order to alleviate the suffering. View this event on Facebook

Join us for a special screening of the documentary "The Dancing Man - Peg Leg Bates" in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival. About the film: At 12 years old his leg was amputated on his mother’s kitchen table. At 40 he was a world renowned tap dancer and a regular on the Ed Sullivan show. He is “The Dancing Man” - Peg Leg Bates. As a disabled African American, Clayton Bates fought discrimination on two fronts, eventually rising to become jazz dance royalty. Stunning archival film clips and commentary by tap greats such as Honi Coles and Gregory Hines demonstrate that Peg Leg Bates was far more than a novelty act. Determined to be financially independent, Bates saved his money and opened a Catskill resort that welcomed African Americans. R & B legend Ruth Brown sums up his influence on African American culture in his time: “In those days, there were two great things for Black people. One was that Peg Leg Bates was going to be on TV, and the other was that Joe Louis was going to fight.” Date | Friday, March 25 at 4 p.m. Location | Coronado Public Library This is a free event open to the public.
