MAGIC OF LIGHTS FONTANA AT AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY GIVES BACK THROUGH CHARITY DONATION TO CITYLINK

Fontana, Calif. – Auto Club Speedway presented a check to Fontana-based non-profit CityLink for $18,519 as the Official Charity Partner of Magic of Lights Fontana holiday experience. A portion of the proceeds from the 2017 Magic of Lights Fontana benefited CityLink to help fund their programs and ministries. The Speedway also announced the holiday event will return beginning Nov. 16.

“Making a difference in the community through events is a top priority,” said Dave Allen, President of Auto Club Speedway. “We are happy to partner once again with CityLink for this year’s Magic of Lights.”

“Magic of Lights is honored to support CityLink and their local outreach programs.  Every time a customer buys a car pass to experience Magic of Lights at Auto Club Speedway, a portion of the proceeds provides financial support for their uplifting efforts. We cherish our relationship with CityLink and look forward to supporting them again at Magic of Lights 2018, starting on our opening night, Friday, November 16,” said Tim Murray, Principal of FunGuys Events – producers of Magic of Lights.

Returning this year will be a Toy Drive benefiting CityLink to help the overall goal of collecting 4,000 toys for local families.  Guests who attend Magic of Lights are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy on December 7-8 and December 14-15, 2018 and will receive a discount on admission.

Proceeds from the Magic of Lights help fund a variety of services throughout the City of Fontana and County of San Bernardino.

“We have a food warehouse where we serve 500 families each week. This refrigerator truck is an example of how the proceeds from Magic of Lights help us operate the truck which transports supplies to those in need,” said Anna Ulibarri, Co-Director of Local Outreach for CityLink.

“We are grateful and thankful to the Speedway and the Magic of Lights,” said Willie Ulibarri, Co-Director of Local Outreach for CityLink.

“We had a fantastic turnout last year and are working closely with the producers of Magic of Lights to enhance the drive-through holiday experience by adding more interactive experiences and displays,” said Allen.

Magic of Lights is a dazzling drive-through holiday lights experience featuring LED displays and digital animations.  Guests will enjoy the sparkling displays from the comfort of their own vehicle as they wind slowly through a festive route in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Fan Zone. 

Magic of Lights Fontana will return to Auto Club Speedway from November 16 – December 31, 2018.  For more information about Magic of Lights, visit https://magicoflights.com/fontana/
