SUMMARY:Crown City Summer Fitness Challenge
DESCRIPTION:A Virtual Event presented by the Optimist Club of Coronado \n \nRegistration is now open for the inaugural fitness event that runs from July 4 through Labor Day\, Sept. 1. The entry fee is $50 and sign up is available at the top of the Optimist Club home page at optimistclubofcoronado.org. \nThis is something new for Coronado – sort of. During the pandemic\, in 2020\, the City of Coronado sponsored a “virtual” activity challenge celebrating the 130th birthday of Coronado. Over 1\,800 individuals and 140 teams participated in that event. Virtual means that a participant performs one or more of their favorite physical activities\, then logs the amount of time it took on a website ’activities entry’ page for the event. The site keeps track of how all participants are doing\, with results displayed and continually updated. \nOne of the fun things about a virtual event is that individuals can participate even if they are not in Coronado — family members for example\, or people who travel. Even deployed service members could form a team or be part of a family team. Already signed up is a team that calls themselves the “Price Club.” Heading up that team is renown Coronado resident\, Peggy Price\, 102 years young! Her son Jimmy said that when her name and birth date were entered\, the website kept asking if her birth date was correct before finally accepting it. Of course\, teams from a variety of clubs in Coronado are most welcome. \nFundraising is a primary goal but so are having fun and staying physically fit. “Hours-per-Week” is the primary measure of achievement: Bronze – 1 hour; Silver – 2 hours; Gold – 3 hours; and Diamond – 4 hours or more. The challenge is appropriate for anyone regardless of age or health situation. A variety of fitness activities are included in the challenge with obvious differences in the stress levels associated with each. Several awards\, individual and team\, will take these differences into account. \nOnce registered\, simply log your time doing fitness activities during the 60-day period. An awards celebration is planned for Saturday\, Sept. 6 at 9 am in Spreckels Park. \nThe Optimist Club would greatly appreciate your participation in this event and hopes that it turns into a fun annual summer event. And remember\, all the funds raised will assist youth of Coronado in reaching their full potential.

SUMMARY:Yard Sale Fundraiser for Childhood Cancer Research
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado High School Jr. Optimist Club\, in conjunction with the Optimist Club of Coronado\, is hosting its annual fundraiser for childhood cancer research on Saturday\, July 12\, from 8 to 11:30 am at 777 H Ave\, and the community’s support is needed to make it a success. \nThe Jr. Optimist Club (JOI) is an international service and leadership organization focused on learning how to make a positive impact on the community. For example\, the club is involved in a multitude of activities\, which have included writing birthday cards to Veterans\, making holiday cards for residents in assisted living homes\, participating in Honor Flight San Diego\, organizing beach clean ups and food drives (Souper Bowl of Caring)\, and supporting events and efforts of the Coronado Community Center\, FOCUS\, PAWS\, and the Coronado Optimist Club. The group has even adopted a school in Barrio Logan that educates young mothers and expecting teens. \nOne of the biggest and most rewarding campaigns is the annual yard sale\, which is run in conjunction with the adult Optimist Club. It is so rewarding because 100% of the profits raised are used to support childhood cancer research. For the past several years\, yard sale funds have been donated to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation\, a charity dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancers\, and the plan is to again donate this year’s funds to St. Baldrick’s. \nThe sale this year features a wide selection of high-quality items\, including bikes\, surfboards\, outdoor furniture\, rugs\, a TV\, a ping pong table\, a baking stone\, clothing\, brand-new shoes and cleats\, craft items and much more. Thus\, there will be options for everyone. While organizing this yard sale can be a huge feat\, the best part about the JOI club is the lifelong friendships these kids make through activities such as this yard sale. \n“It really is fun looking at all the items\, meeting people in my neighborhood\, and hanging out with friends all for a good cause\,” said former JOI member Andrew Borgie. \nVisit the sale on Saturday\, July 12\, between 8 and 11:30 am at 777 H Ave and help support the Coronado JOI club and childhood cancer research. \nFor more information on JOI\, the Adult Optimist Club\, or the yard sale\, please contact JOI club advisor Erin at 619-675-1323. \nNov. 2009 – Shoppers look through the variety of goods for sale at a designated stop along the A1A Super Scenic 72-mile Garage Sale.
