The Christmas count down is on. There are 159 days until Christmas! To prepare for this upcoming holiday season Fountain Tire hosted their first Christmas in July Barbeque on July 19th. There were hot dogs, cookies, and chips for the community to enjoy. Farther Christmas made an appearance at the barbeque! He was waving down people from the community to join in and support a great cause. Fountain Tire is raising funds and collecting toy donations for The Magic of Christmas.

The Magic of Christmas is an amazing not-for-profit organization that supports families in the Foothills. Every year during the Christmas season Santa and his elves travel by sleigh (bus) delivering presents and Christmas cheer to families who are currently dealing with financial, emotional, or physical hardship. Each family receives essential items in backpacks and presents to put under the tree for Christmas morning.

Anyone wishing to make a difference for families in the Foothills can leave a monetary or toy donation at Fountain Tire till the end of July. Last year the most needed items where toys for small children.
