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 Argentinas 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.

Coronado Island Film Festival presents Movie on the Beach: "Dirty Dancing"
2026-06-26 19:00 | Hotel Del Beach
The Coronado Island Film Festival invites guests to step into the summer of 1963 on Friday, June 26, for its annual Movie on the Beach fundraiser — this year featuring the classic Dirty Dancing, presented under the stars on the Coronado shoreline.

With the Hotel del Coronado as the backdrop, the evening will transform the beach into a nostalgic coastal homage to Kellerman’s Mountain House in the Catskills. As the sun sets over the Pacific, guests will be welcomed by glowing bonfires, ocean breezes, and the nostalgic soundtrack that will have you “Swayzing” as DJ Trisha Lynn and Marilyn Klisser of Club Coronado bring some heat to the sand.
Beach chairs will be provided, and guests are encouraged to bring blankets or jackets as the night may get chilly when the evening breeze rolls in. With a themed cocktail in hand and feet in the sand, attendees can settle in for a unique cinematic experience.
For those seeking an elevated experience, a limited number of exclusive fire pit lounges are available. Each includes a private fire pit, seating for up to six guests, a double-wide chaise lounge, and a bespoke gift, offering an intimate way to experience the evening.
Movie on the Beach serves as a critical fundraiser supporting CIFF’s mission, year-round outreach, and cultural programming.
“Year after year, our movie on the beach — made possible by the Hotel del Coronado — grows into something more spectacular than the last,” said Merridee Book, CEO & Artistic Director, Coronado Island Film Festival. “And yet the heart of this gathering has never been about the spectacle. It is about what happens when a community comes together around something it loves — and chooses to invest in it. The funds raised sustain our five-day festival and the free educational programming that reaches students, emerging filmmakers, and film lovers throughout the year. This is cinematic magic with real, lasting impact.”

Coronado’s Liberty Celebration Swim (formerly 4th of July Rough Water Swim) has long been an iconic way to celebrate our nation’s independence. The event will take place on July 5 in Glorietta Bay Park in Coronado.
