THE MAGIC RETURNS! 🎁🎄✨

We’re excited to officially announce the 6th Annual Marconi Magic Toy Drive!

Every holiday season, the Marconi Automotive Museum & Foundation for Kids brings our community together with one shared mission: to spread joy, create lasting memories, and make the holidays brighter for the children and families who need it most.
 📅 Sunday, November 15th | ⏰ 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM 📍 Marconi Automotive Museum & Foundation for Kids

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, last year’s Toy Drive reached new heights, setting another record for funds raised! This year, we’re determined to build on that momentum and make an even greater impact!

✨ Every dollar and every toy makes a difference. No donation is too small. We kindly ask that all toys be new, unopened, and in their original packaging.
 🏁 The event is cars & coffee-style: stay to enjoy the cars on display, or simply drive through and drop off your donation. If you’re bringing an exotic or collector car, please arrive early, spots are limited and will fill up fast!

🫶 100% of all funds donated will go directly toward purchasing toys.
Thank you for your continued support. Let’s spread the word, fill that trailer, and make this holiday season brighter for kids who need it most!

👍 Contact your tax professional for possible deductions. Marconi Foundation for Kids® Tax ID: 33-0650060

UNDER THE HOOD PROJECT × MARCONI AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM & FOUNDATION FOR KIDS 🏁🚗🛠️

We’re proud to partner with the Under The Hood Project to help inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of automotive leaders.

Through hands-on automotive education, students will have the opportunity to learn everything from vehicle basics, maintenance, and shop safety to EV & hybrid technology. Just as importantly, they’ll gain real-world experience while developing teamwork, leadership, confidence, and skills that can open doors to future careers.

This collaboration is a natural fit for the Marconi Automotive Museum & Foundation for Kids and our mission to create impactful opportunities for young people. By getting students under the hood, we’re giving them more than the chance to work on cars, we’re helping them discover new possibilities, build confidence, and get excited about their future.

🚨 Classes begin Fall 2026!

Want to be part of the next generation? Visit the link in our bio to join the list and be the first to receive class dates, registration information, and program updates.

Build skills. Gain confidence. Get under the hood. 🔧

2026 Marconi Museum Open House - Official Recap! 🙌❤️🏁⚡️

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the historic Tustin Thunder Road Races and more than 30 years of giving through the Marconi Foundation for Kids!

This year’s Open House gave us the opportunity to reflect on an important chapter in the history of the Marconi Automotive Museum & Foundation for Kids. From the special Tustin Thunder display and stories from the era, to limited-edition memorabilia and a look back at what helped shape the museum into what it is today, it was incredibly special to share this legacy with our community.

Three decades later, Tustin Thunder remains an unforgettable part of Orange County’s automotive history, having brought tens of thousands of motorsports fans together at the former Marine Corps Air Station here in Tustin.

We were also blown away by the incredible turnout of exotic, classic, collector, and race cars that filled the property and helped make this year’s Open House one to remember.

To every vehicle owner, guest, vendor, sponsor, volunteer, staff member, photographer, and supporter who helped make the day possible; Thank you!

For more than 30 years, your support has allowed us to celebrate automotive history while continuing the mission at the heart of the Marconi Foundation for Kids: giving back to children in need throughout our community.

Thank you for helping us, help kids! ✨
