Community invited to wear pink, enjoy tacos, and rally for a cause Tuesday, October 7.
The Coronado High School girls volleyball program will host its annual Dig Pink Night on Tuesday, October 7, to raise awareness and funds for the Side-Out Foundation, which supports metastatic breast cancer research and clinical trials.
The Islanders have set a fundraising goal of $2,500 this year and invite the Coronado community to get involved through several fun and meaningful ways:

🌮 Tacos for a Cause: Enjoy three tacos and a drink for $12 ($13 with credit card). The goal is to sell 100 plates. Food will be served from 4 to 6pm.
🛍️ Dig Pink Goodie Bags: Send a sweet surprise to a CHS player, sibling, or friend, delivered during school on 10/7 — each order raises funds and spreads awareness.
👚 Limited Edition Dig Pink Shirts: Available while supplies last, with proceeds donated to the Side-Out Foundation.
🧁 Pink Bake Sale: Players and families will host a bake sale featuring pink-themed treats, with all proceeds going to charity.
💖 Direct Donations: Supporters can donate directly through the team’s official Side-Out campaign page, with many companies offering donation-matching programs that can double contributions.
🏐 Attend the Match: All admission donations will go toward the team’s fundraising total. Match begins at 6:15pm on Tuesday, Oct. 7 in the CHS gym.

“Dig Pink is one of the most inspiring nights of our season,” said a Coronado Volleyball Booster representative. “It’s incredible to see our athletes, families, and community come together for something bigger than the game.”
All fundraising links, pre-sale items, and donation options can be found through the team’s Square Store at fundraising goal.
The team invites the community to fill the stands, wear pink, and help make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Everyone A Reader volunteer training
2025-11-17 09:00 - 10:00 | Coronado Unified School District, 201 Sixth Street, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Coronado Unified School District is excited to bring back the Everyone A Reader (EAR) program, a countywide initiative that began in 1995. EAR volunteers are specially trained to provide one-to-one reading support to students in grades 1-3 who need extra reading support.
Both Village and Silver Strand Elementary Schools have had EAR programs in the past, but the program has been paused since the pandemic.
“We are excited to bring this program back to our schools,” said Senior Director of Learning Dr. Megan Battle. “It’s a proven and effective way to help students build reading skills and confidence, and it also supports teachers by giving students the extra attention they need.”
The benefits of EAR reach both students and volunteers. Students gain valuable skills and build confidence, which can lead to success in later grades. For volunteers, it’s a meaningful opportunity to make a tangible difference in a child’s life while also building connections in the community.
To participate, volunteers must complete a training session before working with students. CUSD is hosting a one hour workshop on Monday, Nov. 17, 9-10 am in the District Office, 201 Sixth Street. Volunteers must also have a CUSD volunteer clearance including Livescan Fingerprint. The district will reimburse up to $50 for the cost of fingerprinting, which can be used for all volunteering in the district for a lifetime.
“We welcome all community members, even without students in school, to participate in this rewarding program. Some of our best volunteers are grandparents!” said Dr. Battle.
Volunteers will coordinate directly with teachers to set schedules that work best for them.
If you are passionate about reading and want to make a positive impact, this is a wonderful way to get involved.

Souper Bowl of Caring
2026-02-08 11:00 - 15:00 | CA
It’s that time of year again for the Souper Bowl of Caring. This is a national event involving scouts, church groups, and any other service organization that chooses to be involved. The Coronado High and Middle School Jr Optimist club members are once again participating.
The students will be knocking on the doors of Coronado residents asking for non perishable food donations. This will take place on Sunday, Feb. 8, the same day as the big game. Don’t worry, the collection endeavors start at 11 am and end before kickoff.
The campaign is already active. If you want to donate prior to the 8th, please visit Sweat Circuit at 1007 Isabella Ave. in Coronado where a box for donations is in place. For pickup, call club advisor Erin at 619-675-1323.
Donations will go to Coronado Baptist Church where Pastor Roamer will see that this food goes to people in need. So as you are planning your Super Bowl party or picking up a few things to take to a party, remember those who are food insecure and grab a bag of rice, box of cereal, or jar of peanut butter, etc., to donate.

FOCUS event in support of homeless children and youth
2026-05-27 17:45 - 19:30 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Across San Diego County, compassionate organizations are changing lives every day by providing shelter, counseling, education, job training, mentoring, and hope. These agencies are not only helping young people survive — they are helping them heal and build futures.
To learn more about the realities of youth homelessness and meet organizations successfully addressing this crisis, the public is invited to attend a special community evening on May 27 from 5:45 to 7:30 pm in the Winn Room at the Coronado Public Library.
Hosted by FOCUS, the event will feature several nonprofit partners working directly with children and youth experiencing homelessness, including Urban Street Angels, Youth Assistance Coalition, Storefront, and Solutions for Change.
Guests will have the opportunity to hear brief presentations, ask questions, connect directly with agency representatives, and learn how our community can be part of meaningful solutions.
Behind every statistic is a child longing not just for shelter, but for safety, dignity, and hope. This evening is an opportunity to listen, to learn, and perhaps most importantly, to discover how together we can create solutions where compassion becomes action.

Hospital Auxiliary's Summer Fair fundraiser
2026-06-05 09:00 - 14:00 | Sharp Coronado Hospital Auditorium Sandermann Education Center, 265 Soledad Place, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Sharp Coronado Hospital Auxiliary is hosting its Summer Fair on Friday, June 5 from 9 am to 2 pm at the hospital’s Sandermann Auditorium at 265 Soledad Place.
At last fall’s Holiday Fair, Auxiliary volunteer Mari Gilbert introduced her fun vintage items of family heirlooms and collectibles for sale. Gilbert assured the fundraising planners, “If it’s old, somebody wants it!”
Sharp Coronado Hospital Auxiliary invites the public to a summer gift fair on June 5 from 9am -2pm on Soledad Place (behind the hospital), raising funds for the hospital’s projects. Mari Gilbert, pictured, will be selling her vintage treasures. Residents are encouraged to donate their no longer needed collectibles to raise additional monies. Proceeds benefit Sharp Coronado Hospital’s Primary Stroke Center and the Katy Green & Cathy McJannet Nursing Scholarship Program. Come shop, stay for lunch, and support a great local cause.
Purchasing “vintage” is a current trend to recycle items instead of discarding them to landfills — and to relive a time past. Clothing, handbags, china, toys and games, all play a part. At Gilbert’s booth, look for fashion from the ’80s to today, including denim, leather jackets, designer items, rock and roll t-shirts, and jewelry for both men and women. If you are looking for a Father’s Day gift, consider a military or nautical collectible, print, or antique. What are some of the more unusual things that will be available? Check out Hotel del Coronado memorabilia from the 1930s when Gilbert’s grandmother actually lived there.
Additional artists and vendors will be selling their wares, including many unique handmade items. A portion of their sales will be donated to the Auxiliary, the nonprofit organization that supports the hospital’s programs and projects.
Home decor, handmade newborn outfits, charcuterie boards, bottle carriers, housewares, cloth carry bags, hand-crafted greeting cards, jewelry, homemade jams, and hostess gifts will be for sale.
Specialty Accessories, a favorite vendor, will have a large selection of clothing for sale. Pouch Leather Bags is returning with many sizes and colors. Once again, Pampered Chef will be displaying their wide range of cooking tools.
The Auxiliary’s Quilt and Afghan Committee will be selling lap quilts and other handmade textile creations. Approximately 80 items are made each year and then donated to clients at the Villa or in hospice care. The Holiday and Summer Fairs are the only time they are available for sale. 100% of their sale price is donated to the Auxiliary.
After you shop, enjoy food from the Nono Jose Argentina food truck vendor; word is that the empanadas are wonderful!
Most of the funds raised at this event will be directed to the Auxiliary’s pledge in support of the Primary Stroke Center, offering expert stroke care to our community. Additionally, the Auxiliary has begun supporting the Katy Green and Cathy McJannet Nursing Scholarship program. Through this program, current Sharp Coronado Hospital employees can apply for funding to advance their nursing careers.
