Want to join the fun!?! This year’s 31st annual Coronado Schools Foundation Telethon will be held on Thursday, March 14th from 5-9 pm to raise much-needed funds for 2019-20 Coronado Unified School District School Site Program Grants.
A new Game Show theme with scripts written and performed by students, performances by Village Elementary Band, Silver Strand kinders, CoSA dance & musical theater drama conservatory, winners of Coronado’s Talent 2019, and the ever-popular CMS teachers dance extravaganza are sure to entertain audience members.
The “Family Fun Fair” in the CHS Quad, brought to you by Coronado Smiles Dental, opens at 4:30 pm. New this year, Quad Chair Bridget Carlson and CSF Staff have lowered the price of a wristband for unlimited activities to just $15 (2 for $25, 3 for $30) including an inflatable obstacle course, DJ and karaoke, face painting, Mullins Orthodontics photo booth, Martial Arts America Board Breaking, CHS Engineering, CMS Robotics, and carnival games for families to enjoy!
Underwriting partner, Blue Bridge Hospitality (BBH), will once again be proving food court entrees for this year’s event. Guests can enjoy tacos from El Roy’s, pizza and salad from Village Pizzeria, and coffee with a portion of all proceeds going to Coronado’s schools via CSF.
BBH will also reward the school with the most Telethon participation with a Village Pizza Party and second place with a Mootime ice cream party! All Blue Bridge Hospitality restaurants are participants in the Coronado Local’s Card featuring 15% off all food purchases (STAKE has a unique perk).

With Coronado Unified funded 36th of 42 school districts in San Diego County, donations made during the Telethon fund STEAM opportunities for Coronado public school students that would otherwise not be possible. “CSF returned a record $1,000,000 to the schools for this year. Only 20% of our parents have made a donation this school year. We need that to increase to 50% to maintain this record funding. EVERY donation matters, whether $25 or $2,500,” commented Patty Cowan, President & CEO.
Performances and phone bank begin at 5 pm at the Coronado High School Theater. Donate $365 or more for a chance to win a Holland’s bicycle or $500 or more to win an Emerald City surfboard! All winners will be drawn at the Telethon.
