As each new Holiday Season approaches, Vally Air Repair gears up for a cherished tradition that illuminates both hearts and highways. Every year, atop the towering flagpole on Highway 41 in Downtown Fresno, our American Flag gracefully yields its place to a spectacle of light—a radiant Christmas Tree. But this isn’t just any tree; it’s The Tobbie Hopper Giving Tree, a symbol of generosity and community spirit.

The Tobbie Hopper Giving Tree isn’t just about brightening the skyline; it’s about brightening lives. Through an annual Facebook nomination process, we invite our community to shine a spotlight on the local non-profit organizations that are close to their hearts. The most frequently commented charities are selected, and VAR pledges its support to each of them. With over $5,000 dedicated to each nominated organization, we honor the legacy of our founder, Tobbie Hopper, whose spirit of giving not only continues to inspire and uplift us, but also pays tribute to his enduring legacy of compassion and generosity.

Remember that the holiday season is about more than just festivities—it’s about coming together to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

So as you drive past Highway 41 and Ventura during the Holidays, let the shimmering brilliance of The Tobbie Hopper Giving Tree remind you of the power of giving and the warmth of our community.
