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.
