Performers and other details still are being arranged, but the FireAid Benefit Concert for California Fire Victims is the first large-scale fundraiser announced to help those who have suffered devastating losses this week in wildfires from Pacific Palisades to Altadena and other Southern California communities.
The event, described as “an evening of music and solidarity, is intended to raise funds aimed at “rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California,” according to a news release from its organizers.
Proceeds will toward a new nonprofit that will work on rebuilding infrastructure, support families displaced by the fires, and advance fire prevention technologies and tactics to prepare for future fire emergencies.
