Celebrating community at Noche de Paz

Yesterday we were thrilled to be able to celebrate the holidays, enjoy delicious pozole and churros, and share gifts at our Noche de Paz event. What a special evening it was, filled with good cheer, happy children, and the spirit of community!

This is the fourth year in a row we’ve teamed up with our local car clubs and businesses to collect toys to share with kids in the community. A huge thanks to former board member Jorge Flores for spearheading this effort each year! We received hundreds of donated toys and each child was able to pick out the perfect gift for themselves and leave with a giant smile on their face.

Noche de Paz was a true collective effort with everyone in the community pitching in to create some holiday magic for the kids in our community. Thank you to our presenting sponsors, Avila Electric and Opperman & Son, Inc., for their incredible support of this event. We also want to thank our community sponsors for their contributions to Noche de Paz, including Gio y Los Magos, Producciones Águila Solís, La Que Ruge Libre, Stephen Barber at Guaranteed Rate, AVFilm, Mario's Joyeria, A.M. Junk & Brush Removal, Garrett Ace Hardware, Andrea Hernandez Moore, Realtor, Healdsburg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Tacos Don Tacos.
