Pro boxing, celebs and a sit-down dinner are what’s in store for you as "Fight Night" returns for the 13th year at the Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin Friday.
The benefit will include auto racing legends Al Unser, Sr., a four-time Indy 500 winner, and Johnny Rutherford, known for his 27 Indy car victories. Joining the racing duo will be actor Tommy “Tiny” Lister, best known for his roles in “The Dark Knight,” “Jackie Brown” and “The Fifth Element.”
Guests can enjoy Mardi Gras-themed festivities, a sit-down dinner and French Quarter-vibe sipping bar. All proceeds will benefit at risk children through the Marconi Foundation for Kids and giving the gift of hearing, the Starkey Hearing Foundation.
At Fight Night, you can also see Marconi’s extensive $30-million collection of cars. The museum is OC’s only Automotive Museum dedicated to raising funds for at risk children.
Experience a never-before-used silent auction system with wireless automated bidding and a live auction.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and boxing at 7 p.m. General seating costs $600 per guest. Purchase tickets in advance by calling the Marconi Foundation for Kids at 714.258.3001 or visiting marconimuseum.org.

New Stop to Power Up!
Go get a green healthy fix in Corona del Mar! Nekter Juice Bar opened its second location in Corona del Mar (its flagship shop is in Costa Mesa). This is the place to fill up on organic juice blends, raw nut milk smoothies, and healthy, raw, gluten-free, vegan snacks, and acai bowls.

All of Nekter’s juice recipes use organic fruits and vegetables, never processed ingredients. Drinks are low calorie and low sugar.
“As an example our average drink has 100 to 200 calories with about 10 grams of carbohydrates,” co-owner Steve Schulze said.
It also offers a signature Nekter Cleanse, a detoxification and re-energizing program with locally grown organic freshly pressed fruits and vegetables. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 2801 E. Pacific Coast Hwy #C in Corona del Mar.
