TEMECULA<\/strong>, Calif. \u2013 (Dec. 9, 2022) \u2013 The holidays came a few weeks early for 400 of the most underserved children and their families in the Inland Empire. Thursday, Dec. 8 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., hundreds of children from Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee and the surrounding communities were welcomed by special invitation to enjoy a 40,000-square foot winter wonderland-themed holiday extravaganza inside the Pechanga Summit Events Center. During Pechanga\u2019s sixth \u201cHoliday of Hope\u201d event, the guests of honor enjoyed nine different holiday activities including photos with Santa, watched holiday movies by a fire, enjoyed a traditional holiday meal, rode a train, listened to Christmas singers from local high school choirs, played holiday bingo and more. They even got to say hello to Los Angeles Lakers Legends AC Green and Robert Horry volunteering for the event. Each child and his or her family were identified by the Temecula, Lake Elsinore and Murrieta School Districts as in-need individuals. According to a May 2022 report, there are 3,316 homeless children and adults in Riverside County, Calif., up from 2020\u2019s count of 2,884.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Holiday of Hope event is something we look forward to hosting each year. So many smiling faces shows us the event brightens a lot of people\u2019s lives here in our region,\u201d said Andrew Masiel, Sr., President of the Pechanga Development Corporation. \u201cWe understand how important holiday memories are for children as they grow up and how special they can be. The Temecula Valley is our home so to be able to give back and to partner with our local school districts to show these children and families that people are out there who care a lot about their well-being, this is what the holidays are all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year I come it\u2019s just fantastic. Just seeing what they\u2019re doing and how Pechanga has done just great in the community,\u201d said AC Green, Lakers Legend. \u201cUnderstanding people, their needs, knowing it\u2019s the season, yes, but all year round. They\u2019re always reaching out seeing how they can help and do more. So I always love coming here, and working with them throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each of the 400 children attending the Holiday of Hope event got to choose his or her very own, age-appropriate gift. Their families were also each given a $100 gift card. Pechanga also provided shuttle service to some of the families who live in Murrieta and Lake Elsinore so they could be sure to get to the Holiday of Hope event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The kids and families also enjoyed musical performances by the Chaparral High School and Great Oak High School choirs. The groups generously agreed to donate their time to this event.<\/p>\n
