Santa Clarita Auto Dealers Association Supports City of Santa Clarita as Presenting Sponsor for Thursdays @ Newhall
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (PRWEB) April 03, 2018 -- The Santa Clarita Automobile Dealers Association, commonly referred to as the Valencia Auto Center, recently signed a three-year agreement as presenting sponsor for the City of Santa Clarita’s Thursdays@Newhall events, which includes the popular SENSES themed events on the third Thursday of each month. This year the Thursday events run from March through October 2018. Emphasizing the importance shopping local brings to the community, the auto dealers’ organization also renewed its commitment as a business sponsor during the holiday season for the city’s Light Up Main Street event in Old Town Newhall and as official sponsor of Central Park Softball Complex, Field #4 scoreboard. The Valencia Auto Center is located in the city of Santa Clarita, California.
During Thursdays@Newhall, guests are invited to enjoy free weekly entertainment and nightlife on Main Street every Thursday as Old Town Newhall transforms from a bustling retail and dining destination by day, to a thriving arts and entertainment district by night, according to the event website. http://www.thursdaysatnewhall.com
"The Santa Clarita Auto Dealers Association has supported many causes throughout our 20-year history,” said Don Fleming, president of the Santa Clarita Automobile Dealers Association. Support includes local organizations such as the Santa Clarita Valley Boys and Girls Club, the city of Santa Clarita’s Hometown Heroes Military Banner Program, Optimist Safety Town, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Foundation, SCV Senior Center, Child & Family Center, and local high schools in the William S. Hart Union High School District.
“One of the best things we can do to invest in our community is to keep our shopping dollars in Santa Clarita,” said Fleming. “As consumers, there are few purchases we’ll make in our lifetime that have as large an impact as our vehicles. When you buy your car or truck from a member of the Valencia Auto Center, you’re not just supporting your neighbors who work at that dealership, you’re gifting our town with sales tax dollars that are used daily to improve our roads, build new parks, keep our kids engaged in wholesome activities and so much more. Plus, you’re treating yourself to a buying and service experience that’s regularly rated as the best around. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
“The auto industry faces fierce competition within the Greater Los Angeles area. The dealers represented by the Association understand that gives residents many choices when purchasing vehicles and they appreciate the opportunity to keep that business local,” Fleming stated.
In 2016, motor vehicle sales and leases represented approximately 23% of the City's annual sales tax revenue for a total of $7,335,148 in sales tax revenue. Over the past decade (2007-2016), nearly $55 million in sales tax revenue from the Valencia Auto Center has been added to the City’s General Fund. That means more funds for new roads, road maintenance, sidewalk repair, and bridge expansions; parks, trails and open space; and free public entertainment, arts, and events.
