CoastAL Orange Beach Becomes Diamond Sponsor for Orange Beach City Schools

Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — CoastAL Orange Beach has stepped up to support education. The local business was named a Diamond Sponsor for Orange Beach City Schools. This is the highest level of sponsorship available. It means students will benefit across academics, arts, and athletics.

The Diamond Sponsorship applies to the 2025–2026 school year and is part of the Mako Academics, Arts, and Athletics Club (MAAAC) program. The tier recognizes donations of $50,000 or more per year. This funding helps provide better programs and more opportunities for students.

CoastAL Orange Beach was also named the 2025 Orange Beach City Schools Partner of the Year. One of their major efforts includes a section in the Orange Beach Store dedicated to Mako gear. All profits from that section go back to the school system.

Business leaders John McInnis and Cameron Price lead CoastAL Orange Beach. Their continued support has made a major difference. Superintendent Randy Wilkes praised their commitment to helping students thrive and connecting the school with the wider community.

McInnis said the success of the schools is something to be proud of. He added that the greatest asset in any community is its children. The company’s support is part of a growing partnership between local businesses and Orange Beach City Schools.
