The yearly promotion, which began in 2011, consists of listeners nominating someone they know who needs help. Self-nominations are not eligible and nominators cannot live in the same household as the person they\u2019re nominating. Nominations can be submitted at\u00a0www.magic925.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The station began announcing this year\u2019s wish recipients on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n

A station statement said, \u201cAs we enter the New Year, we are still facing some of the highest price increases across the board due to inflation, adding stress and financial strain to even more families. That\u2019s why we are more determined than ever to help as many families as possible through Christmas Wish 2025.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of our favorite programs of the year,\u201d Kristi told Times of San Diego. \u201cWe are hoping to help several families who are struggling with paying some of their bills, their rent and getting other badly-needed items.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s major sponsor is Altus Schools. Additional sponsors include SeaWorld San Diego, Chicken Charlie\u2019s, Breakfast Republic, Barons Market, Pinery Christmas Trees, United Pacific Electronics, Epic Wings, San Diego Family Magazine and Gringas Catering.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll year long we have been celebrating 20 years at Magic 92.5,\u201d Kristi said.\u00a0 \u201cKind of crazy isn\u2019t it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 22nd District Agricultural Association, the entity that operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds<\/a> and produces the San Diego County Fair, recently received eight awards from the International Association of Fairs and Exposition<\/a> for marketing communications and sponsorship efforts for the 2025 Fair.<\/p>\n

Awards in sponsorships categories included sponsor exposure for Toyota, in-kind trade sponsorship with Roma Pharmacies, sponsorship innovation with Kahoots pet stores and sponsor continuity with Albertsons and Vons grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Overall, the DDA received 26 awards from IAFE in other categories, including agricultural, competitive exhibits, commercial exhibits and concessions and non-fair facility usage. Eight first-place awards were presented. It was the most the DDA has received from IAFE, exceeding last year\u2019s total of 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese awards reflect the passion and creativity that our team brings to everything we do to serve as a community gathering place during the Fair and year-round,\u201d said Carlene Moore, chief executive officer of the 22nd DAA. \u201cWe are deeply honored to be recognized by our industry peers and proud to represent San Diego County on the international stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
