Marconi Fight Night
Get ready for an action packed evening of world class boxing and world title kick boxing. This is a California Athletic Commission sanctioned event. In between matches guests dine on a fabulous dinner and bid on a variety of unique silent auction items.  We set a Guinness Book record with the sale of our puppy, $50,000!  Mix and mingle with sports figures and celebrities.  This is definitely an evening you don't want to miss.

ALS is a progressive and devastating disease that destroys the nerve cells controlling muscles, ultimately causing complete paralysis. An estimated 5,000 Americans are found to have ALS each year, most in their prime adult years. The cause of ALS isn't known, and no cure exists. Survival is typically three to five years beyond diagnosis, without the use of mechanical ventilation.

 A pioneer in the fitness industry, Augie Nieto received a diagnosis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease) in March 2005 and began the fight of his life. Under the banner Augie's Quest, Nieto and his wife, Lynne, are supporting MDA's aggressive fundraising and research effort aimed at finding more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for ALS.

Marconi Foundation for Kids
The Marconi Automotive Museum and Foundation for Kids strives to reach its goal of raising a million dollars a year for at risk youth in Orange County.  A large percentage of net proceeds generated from special events and tours are donated to local children's charities.   Founder Dick Marconi has a mantra that he gives to all groups he addresses.  That mantra is "learn, earn and return." As his father before him said, first you learn by getting a good education, then you go out into the community and earn, and then you start to give back, perhaps in small ways to begin with, and as you reach retirement years, start giving in more significant ways.  And that's exactly what he's done.  Known in Orange County, California as one of the great philanthropists.
