Hi Coronado!!!

We have some exciting news to share... Now that Jack is in college and Grace heads to college in August, we are passing the torch to a new generation!

One of our best customers, Shane Sylvester, is taking over our yard card business, our fresh greens reindeer business and concession stands at Coronado events going forward. We hope you will embrace Shane and her future businesses!

Shane is sophomore at CHS and is passionate about community involvement and making a difference. Shane plays club and CHS Soccer and is an Emerald Keeper Intern. She is also an active volunteer for United Through Reading and the Coronado Flower Association.

Shane will continue our 9-year mission by donating her business profits to the Coronado Schools Foundation. Please check out, like and follow Shane's new page "Jack and Grace's Pop-Up Stand by SHANE" and "PopUpStandByShane" on Instagram!!!

We may be out of state for college the next 4 years, but, we will never forget how important our Coronado friends, CUSD and CSF have been in our lives. We are willing to help Shane's businesses when needed and we will find fresh new ways to help fund CSF in the future. Stay tuned Coronado - it's never goodbye!!!
Sincerely,
Jack and Grace Elardo

That's a wrap Coronado...19 concession stands, 6 booths at Artisan Alley Craft Fair, a booth at 92118 Day and the Coronado Flower Show, 1 Stand-Up Paddle Rental Summer Business, 3 years of online fresh greens reindeer sales and 242 Yard Card installations.

We delivered our final donation of $2,261.87 to the Coronado Schools Foundation ("CSF") today. We are happy to announce that we have reached our goal of $50,000 in donations to CSF!

Thank you to all of our customers for supporting our businesses. We've had a lot of fun and learned valuable lessons about running businesses over the last 9 years. We are thankful for CSF because they made our classes at ECDC, VES, CMS and CHS interesting and fun. We've both benefitted from CSF's funding of programs we love throughout our time in the CUSD.

We are happy to announce that a Coronado Family (one of our best customers!) will be taking over Jack and Grace's Pop-Up Stand to continue our mission to support CSF! Stay tuned for more information on January 1, 2026!

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Thank you Coronado for supporting our yard card business and all our other businesses over the past 9 years. We are getting closer to our 50k goal - less than 2k to go! We installed 3 yard cards in the past week and had one pre-sale of a fresh greens reindeer. Since July 1, 2020, we've installed 242 yard cards all around Coronado. STAY TUNED - our fresh greens reindeer pre-sales will start on BLACK FRIDAY! Have a great Thanksgiving Coronado!

Hi Coronado!

Happy Veteran's Day a little early (thank you for your service to our country)!

We will be selling holiday ornaments, small wreaths and our popular fresh greens reindeer again at Coronado's Artisan's Alley on Saturday, December 6, 2025 (at Village Elementary School from 9:00 a..m. until we sell out)!

As always, 100% of all profits will be donated to the Coronado Schools Foundation. Help us reach our final goal of $50k to CSF by December 31, 2025 (we only have $2,200 to go)!!!

Hi Coronado! We've had a great summer so far! We both work for the City of Coronado (Jack as a Beach Lifeguard and Grace as a Camp Coronado Counselor). We've also run several businesses to raise money for the Coronado Schools Foundation. We've installed 8 Yard Cards since the end of May and we ran the Coronado Shores Water Park with a burgers/fries food truck earlier today. We are happy to announce that we've raised $2,238 this summer for the Coronado Schools Foundation!

We are getting closer to our goal of raising $50,000 for the Coronado Schools Foundation by the time we both graduate from CHS... only $2,212 left to go!!! To reach that goal, we plan to sell our popular "fresh greens reindeer" and other holiday items again in early December 2025. Stay tuned for more details.

In a few weeks, Jack heads to college at SMU in Dallas and Grace will be starting her final year of high school at CHS. It's hard to believe that our time in the Coronado Unified School District is winding down. We appreciate and thank CSF for making our 13 years (and counting) in CUSD interesting and fun!

Have a great rest of the summer and upcoming school year. Don't forget to donate to CSF at the beginning of the school year!

Sincerely,
Jack Elardo, 2025 CHS Graduate, SMU Class of 2029

Happy Graduation and Last Week of School Coronado!!! It's been a busy week already- we installed 4 yard cards over the weekend and Jack graduates from CHS on Thursday!

We are getting closer to our goal of raising $50,000 for the Coronado Schools Foundation by the time Grace graduates from CHS in June 2026... only $4,539.87 to go! We will be running the Coronado Shores Water Park and Concessions Stand again in July, we have a few other business opportunities planned for the summer and we plan to have a booth again at Artisan's Alley selling holiday items in December 2025.

Help us reach our goal...if you would like us to install a yard card this summer ($40 or $30 if military), please message us via FB or text us at 602.757.7121.

Congratulations to all the CUSD graduates (including our very own Jack Elardo)!!!

Happy Holidays Coronado!!!

Thank you to our customers for supporting our booth yesterday at Artisan's Alley. A BIG thank you to several friends who stepped up to help us with getting the 200 Rudolph's spruced up prior to sale this year (Carley P. and Michelle I.) and helped us transport the merch to our booth (Jack's boss Christian)!

It's time to close the books on our businesses in 2024! Here's a summary of our profits from our pop-up stands in 2024:
1) Yard card installations ($560);
2) Coronado Shores Water Park and concession stand ($1,603.00);
3) Dog walking ($60); and
4) Sale of 200 fresh greens reindeer, 15 rosemary trees and 20 small wreaths at 2024 Artisan's Alley ($6,164.89).

Total: $8,387.89

The profits of our 2024 businesses will be donated to the Coronado Schools Foundation ("CSF") this week.

Since 2017, we have donated $45,060.13 in business profits to CSF. We are keeping our eye on our goal to raise $50k for CSF by the time we both graduate from CHS ($4,939.87 to go!!!).

Please consider donating to CSF before the end of 2024. CSF makes our schools interesting and fun!

We look forward to new business opportunities in 2025. Happy New Year!
