Give And Win At The Coronado Schools Foundation’s 36th Annual Telethon

Want to win big all while supporting our schools? Then look no further than a donation to the Coronado Schools Foundation’s 36th Annual Coronado Schools Foundation (CSF) Telethon on Thursday, March 16! This time-honored community tradition is one of the biggest fundraisers for the schools, with all money earned going directly to support STEM and Arts programs for every student enrolled in Coronado public schools.

Your donation will not only help to fund amazing classes like Robotics, Broadcasting, Innovation Labs and more, but it will also enter you to win some amazing prizes! Donations $365+ will be entered to win a brand-new beach cruiser from Holland’s Bicycles and donations $500+ will be entered to win a Lost Hydra surfboard from Emerald City Surf Shop. New this year for donations $1,500 and up is the chance to win an amazing three-night stay including breakfast at the Hilton Los Cabos Beach Resort, generously donated by the Hotel del Coronado! All donors will have their name read live on air and receive a CSF Locals Card with amazing deals and discounts all over town.

Come watch student performances live at the CHS Quad on March 16 and grab dinner at the “Food Court,” featuring Garage Buona Forchetta pizza and Gelato Paradiso. CSF is thrilled to be joining forces with Alan Kinzel’s Coronado’s Talent, sponsored by Donna Salof, to make this year the biggest and best year yet! Tickets can be purchased for Coronado’s Talent at www.coronadostalent.com.

“The CSF Telethon and Coronado’s Talent will focus on the robust Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) programs thriving throughout our district,” says Michelle Gilmore, CSF President and CEO. “You don’t want to miss a single minute of the show this year – you’ll be amazed by what our students and staff have accomplished!”

Plus see who wins the brand new 2023 four-seater Forester golf cart, valued at $13,750 generously sponsored by Mullins Orthodontics. The winner will be announced live on air at Telethon so get your tickets now and you could be the lucky winner! (www.csfkids.org/golfcart).
