“We were thrilled to host our first annual Play on the Bay event at Loews Coronado Bay Resort to benefit DonorsChoose.org. Our guests enjoyed a wonderful evening at our resort while supporting public school teachers and their local classrooms. We were able to raise $50,000 to assist local school teachers with the supplies and equipment they need to teach our children.” said Sean Clancy, Managing Director at Loews Coronado Bay Resort.
