To donate to the utility box decoration project, this link will take you to our PayPal donation page for a Historical Spring Valley-themed box, and this link is for a utility box that will be decorated with art from Spring Valley Academy students.
We are currently raising $676.00 for the utility box near Grecian Cafe
You can also donate to a general fund for all the boxes. Just think how wonderful Campo Road will look once we finish; something which YOUR generosity made happen! Our undiscovered Casa de Oro gem in East County is slowly being transformed thanks to the Beautification Committee of the Casa de Oro Alliance.

Have you noticed the beautiful utility box wraps along Campo Road? With the help of some wonderful donors, Casa de Oro Alliance volunteers and the talent of photographer Lee Sie, we can brag that we have finished EIGHT boxes with the beautiful names of:
Upsy Daisy (donated through a Casa de Oro Alliance GoFundMe campaign)
Aeoniums (Joan Forbes)
Lush Lantana
Lipstick Hibiscus (Bob and Holly Yarris)
Agave Gold (Dr. Curtis Howard, DDS)
Breath of Heaven (CDOA GoFundMe campaign)
Bird of Paradise (Joan Forbes)
California Dream (Vince and Wanetta Sherrod and Lyn Earl).
We are very grateful to or donors and volunteers, as well as the photographer Lee Sie, our consummate artist and wrapper. Besides the beauty these boxes bring to the community, we hope they will help reduce graffiti tagging. Things are lookin’ up!
Be on the look out for new banners hanging from the light posts along Campo Road! These will be changed out seasonally. We also have new potted trees and succulents: this was a 2-day project that took the effort of many volunteers….a huge thank you to everyone involved! If you would like to adopt some planters to care for, please send us an email
