Summer Fest
The first-ever Summer Youth Fest took place on July 13th. This event was put on by the "Dream Team" aka the youth of Fairfield. They took it upon themselves to plan a free event for their community. Collaborating with The Matt Garcia Foundation, we helped organize and produce this amazing summer event. Community members could visit engaging booths, take a tour of the Fairfield Fire Department firetruck, and even make friendship bracelets with the fashion club. Other activities included art booths and faceplanting. Let's not forget the volleyball nets were a hit! Anyone could walk up and play a game, then grab an ice cone because there was a truck nearby. Thank you to the members of the Youth Summer Fest Advisory board for the effort and dedication to our community. Together we "Keep the Dream Alive".

14th Annual "DRIVE to Keep the Dream Alive"
Message From the President
The Matt Garcia Foundation is pleased to announce our 14th Annual “DRIVE to Keep the Dream Alive” Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, October 14th, 2024. The tournament will be held at Rancho Solano Golf Course, located at 3250 Rancho Solano Pkwy, Fairfield, CA 94534. Our golf fundraiser ensures the continuation of the important programs and activities we support throughout the year.
My son, our late Fairfield City Councilman Matt Garcia, was a young man with a vision. Matt’s dream was to make a difference in the community. Many of Matt’s hopes have been realized through the programs that we support, including youth sports, empowerment programs, community service days, gun buyback events, scholarship programs, the Matt Garcia Career and College Academy, the PAL Youth Center, and much more. The Matt Garcia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization run entirely by volunteers, and 100% of your donation goes to fund these programs.
With the help of generous individuals and companies such as yours, our foundation annually raises the essential funds needed to “Keep the Dream Alive.” We anticipate another successful event and hope you will be a part of it. In addition to sponsorship options, many have considered donating gift baskets, sporting event tickets, vacations and spa packages, or other donations to be used for raffle/silent auction items.
We are a local organization with a powerful presence in the community, associated with positive change. We offer multiple tournament sponsorship levels. As a sponsor, your name, business, or establishment will be prominently displayed in all of our event publicity. The event itself is an opportunity to network with many potential customers and clients. Most importantly, your donation will send a powerful message that you are partnering with us to create a safer and more meaningful community. Our mission is to support youth, help stop crime, and strengthen our community.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Your contribution makes all the difference!
For more information or to donate, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can also email our golf committee directly at mgfgolf@ffinest.org If you would like to sign up or register for the tournament, you can go directly to our tournament site.

How to Stop Getting TRIGGERED Forever
The concept of being triggered, though it may at times be overused, sits on top of a hugely important concept in psychological life. One moment we are calm, the next we are catapulted into despair and terror. It may be important to know how to be scared or incensed when situations actually demand it, but it is also deeply counterproductive to be visited by powerful emotions that aren’t warranted by what lies before us and that fail to advance our interests in any way.

Quite a number of people have everything that it would take to be happy, and they are not happy. So, how does gratefulness work? Explore the key components to living gratefully.
