The CORONADO PROMISE

A portion of the proceeds from the 2024 Charro Invitational golf tournament will be dedicated to funding the Coronado Promise, a scholarship program launched in 2020 by the Scottsdale Charros in collaboration with the Coronado Foundation for the Future, Scottsdale Unified School District, and Scottsdale Community College. This transformative initiative makes higher learning a reality for students at Coronado High School with a “promise” to fund CHS graduates’ two-year college degree or vocational certificate program. The program also provides resources to lower grades in the Coronado Learning Community to improve college readiness.

History of the Scottsdale Charros

The result of banter at the Pink Pony among town ‘movers and shakers’ and the then-manager of the Baltimore Orioles, Paul Richards, the Scottsdale Baseball Club formed, raised money and built a wooden stadium on the northeast corner of what is now Osborn Road and Drinkwater Boulevard, designed to host the Baltimore Orioles for spring training in February-March 1956. Land for the stadium was leased from that owner by the Civic Coordinating Council. In 1961, the Scottsdale Charros are formed during a meeting at Hotel Valley Ho as a special activity affiliate of the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce. They take over hosting Spring Training from the Scottsdale Baseball Club.

Coronado Promise scholarship program expanded

by

Juan Booth is just six credits away from earning associate degrees in biology and art from Scottsdale Community College.

A 2020 graduate of Coronado High School, Booth, 20, intends to continue studying at SCC to earn credits toward a bachelor’s degree in biology from Northern Arizona University through an outreach program between the two schools and ultimately hopes to help the plight of endangered animal species.

None of that would have been possible without financial aid and Booth got to talk about its importance last week, extolling the Coronado Foundation.
