Fairfield Downtown Tree Lighting

The Fairfield Downtown Tree Lighting on December 5th was absolutely MAGICAL this year. The street outside the window of The Matt Garcia Foundation office looked like a winter wonderland as endless “snow” fell, leaving the kids in awe. The lines for the hot chocolate, cotton candy and popcorn were huge as our wonderful volunteers scrambled to make sure no one went without, and our rock painting table was always full of happy children. Everyone seemed to have a fabulous time! So much laughter and love were present, along with a strong sense of togetherness and community. We couldn’t be happier with the evening! We would like to thank EVERYONE who came out to help and those that stopped by to visit our little corner of the city. You are all AWESOME!

About The Matt Garcia Foundation

Matt Garcia was a man with a vision. He was the youngest city councilman elected in the state of California in November 2007, and a great young leader and inspiration to all who knew him. He was sworn in December 2007 and was on the council for nearly 10 months when he was killed. Matt was only 22 years old… but he lived more in those short years than many adults can even imagine. He led by inspiration, with integrity and ambition. Matt’s dream involved supporting the youth and creating places for them to go and things for them to do; turning away from the violence and crime in the city; and uniting the community so that all people will have a sense of belonging and responsibility to the city of Fairfield. Matt’s life was cut short, but his legacy, work and heart live on.

The Matt Garcia Foundation non-profit 501 (c) (3), was established to carry out Matt’s dream. We are dedicated to the work and efforts that Matt started, and hope that we can inspire others to do more, just as Matt inspired us.
