Coronado residents can bid on travel packages, local experiences and a Denago Nomad XL starting Saturday, Nov. 7, when the Coronado Schools Foundation (CSF) launches its annual online auction.
The auction opens at noon Nov. 7 and closes at 9 p.m. Nov. 15, according to the Coronado Eagle & Journal. Proceeds go directly to CSF-funded STEM and Arts enrichment programs across the Coronado Unified School District.
The foundation's own auction page calls it the biggest CSF online auction in its history, listing more than 160 items. The Eagle & Journal put the count at more than 150.
Among the offerings: mountain getaways in Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, tropical trips to Punta Mita and Maui, sports tickets, private catamaran cruises and an e-bike from Holland's. New this year is a brand-new Denago Nomad XL from Coastal Carts.
Mullins Orthodontics is the auction's sponsor. The Eagle & Journal reported that Dr. Mullins has supported CSF for 20 years, and both of his children graduated from Coronado public schools.
Ashley DeGree, president and CEO of the Coronado Schools Foundation, said this year's auction is bigger than ever. "Every bid supports our kids and allows us to continue funding the programs that make learning exciting for Coronado students," DeGree said, according to the Eagle & Journal.
Bidding closes at 9 p.m. Nov. 15.
