Toyota of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Honda, and Acura are teaming up to support Goleta’s 4th of July Drone Light Show taking place for the second year at Dos Pueblos High School.
The Honda, Acura and Toyota dealerships are adjacent to each other in Old Town Goleta. When the family ownership group for the dealerships found out that more support was needed to put on this free community event, it stepped up to become a sponsor.
“The city is grateful for this sponsorship and to all of our community partners who are making this patriotic event happen again in Goleta,” organizers said.
Anyone interested in sponsoring can learn more at www.CityofGoleta.org/July4Sponsor or email pio@cityofgoleta.gov.
All sponsorships and donations made in support of the free community event may be considered a charitable contribution to the City of Goleta and may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
“Every dollar raised allows us to enhance this event and build upon the great success we had the first year with nearly 6,000 people in attendance,” said Kelly Hoover, Goleta’s community relations manager.
“We are doing a last call for sponsors and encourage anyone out there who wants to support this wonderful community event to come join this rewarding effort,” she said.
“As a family-owned dealership group in Goleta, we are excited to be an active part of the community,” said Paul Scheuermann, general manager of Santa Barbara Honda/Santa Barbara Acura.
“Our goal is simple: support this community, serve our neighbors well, and help create opportunity for generations to come,” he said. “Being a part of this community means showing up, supporting what matters and building something lasting together.”
In addition to supporting local events the auto group is showing its long-term investment in Goleta by building new state-of-the-art facilities in Old Town. They will include sales, service and collision operations.
Renderings will be on display at the Goleta Light Drone Show event.
