Community service for the Fleming’s of Valencia Acura is a way of life. As owners of a successful Acura Dealership, they knew that they wanted to be very involved in what makes Santa Clarita so wonderful. Look up community service and you’ll see the smiling faces of Don and Cheri Fleming. Not only do they contribute financially, but they also roll up their sleeves, pitch in and give their time and talents.

Not content with being just co-owners on Auto Row, Don and Cheri set out to devote their spare time to helping the community. In 2004, Cheri was named the Santa Clarita Valley’s “Woman of the Year,” sharing the award with her husband Don.

Being able to volunteer is a great gift in itself. I always feel that I’m receiving so much more than I’m giving.

For the past seven years, the Flemings have electrified the fund-raising world with their innovative ideas and hard work. They each serve on a number of distinguished boards including the Hospital Foundation, the Child and Family Center, and the Boys and Girls Club Foundation. In addition, Don is continually called on to conduct charitable auctions, while Cheri provides the classy touches to events that inevitably translate into money for charity.

Here are just a few of the positions that Don and Cheri have served in the community over the past eight years:
