ABC, Channel 7 Toy Drive - Spark of Love

For 19 years, ABC7 and firefighters from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, along with the Los Angeles City Fire Department, have joined forces to run the Spark of Love Toy Drive. This campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for the underserved children in our communities.

We at Citrus Motors were proud to donate toys to the Spark of Love Toy Drive and spend the day with our amazing community leaders. As well, the city of Ontario has a great Fire department, Police department, Swat team and paramedic team to help us in any situation. The men and women that we met at Mathis Brothers were truly amazing. Such caring people who have been serving our community for decades! Ontario is blessed to have these heros serving our community. We were told that the Fire department alone will answer over 15,000 calls per year! So when you see your Fire men/women or Police, let's say a BIG thank you for all they do!

We look forward to collecting toys next year and exceeding what we donated for this year! Thanks to each of you for you toy donations!!!

Nationwide Event

Mike Duran, Body Shop Manager, and Charity Slusser, Director of Marketing, attending a great event at Nationwide in Montclair. This was at Dan Neal's office on Benson Ave. We had such fun with the Nascar to check out and, of course, the very awesome simulator to play with…that is when the competitors will come out.

Mike & Charity will still have a friendly argument on who won the race or who crashed more into the walls. That was such fun. We think every office should have one of these simulators. We would like to thank Nationwide Insurance for such a great time!

Kody Peraita Tourney

Kody Peraita a local Chino/Ontario resident and a student of Ayala High School suffered a severe spinal injury while at the beach on Memorial Day weekend. The result of this injury has left him with paralysis from the neck down. Although he has made remarkable progress and continues to improve, he has a long road ahead of him. A golf tournament was held in his honor on October 28, 2011 to raise much needed finances to aide in his recovery. We were proud to sponsor four holes, with one being a Hole-in-one! We had a 2012 fully loaded Ford Focus to be won, but no one had a Hole-in-one. The Captain from the LA Sheriff' office was so close and I know he would have been so happy to have taken the car, too. It is amazing to see these golfers come through all day. They got better as the day went on.

Kody was so blessed to have so many people come out to support him on this day. We had the Laker girls, the police department, LA Sheriffs, firemen, teachers and so many more. It was a great time to be had by all. We even had a helicopter come in to drop golf balls at sunset! It was beautiful to watch that. If you are interested in helping Kody, please check out his Facebook page "Team Kody" to see where the next event will be held.
