Each year the Ira Zaslow Foundation has embarked upon a magical journey during the Annual Disney Educational Summer Program providing the opportunity to students from PS MS 306 of the East Bronx to travel to the Magic Kingdom, courtesy of AirTran Airways, where they begin a 5 night 6 day educational adventure. While in Disney, the children live the rich history of the U.S., explore the fascinating and surprising world of animal behavior and discover Disney’s world of physics through the mind of a theme park scientist.
On Sunday November 7, 2004 a growing Team IRA is heading to the New York City Marathon to pay tribute to Ira through our run. This year is especially exciting year for the Foundation and Team IRA. With an upsurge of 25 runners our presence will be strong amd known.
Team IRA needs your help.

If anyone is interested in making a contribution to the Nursery School Playground or creating a memorial at the playground through the purchase of a floor mat tile, please contact Bryan via email at Bryan@IraZaslowFoundation.org.
