Wine & Lecture: Ellen Browning Scripps

The Coronado Historical Association invites you to join us for this month’s installment of the popular Wine & Lecture Series on Thursday, February 19th!

Enjoy a captivating evening with a fascinating look into the life and legacy of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836–1932)—the celebrated philanthropist who appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1926 after giving away the equivalent of $100 million to institutions such as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Scripps Memorial Hospital, and Scripps College.

This engaging lecture will explore Scripps’s remarkable career as a journalist, her lifelong dedication to social advocacy, and the pivotal role she played in shaping modern philanthropy. We will also highlight the broader legacy of women in philanthropy—a powerful tradition of leadership that continues today.

Join us for a wine & cheese reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by the lecture from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
