LA sports teams hand out clothing, supplies to fire victims
The L.A. area’s 12 professional sports organizations, in conjunction with Fanatics and the Fanatics Foundation, distributed $3 million worth of merchandise on Friday to area residents who were forced out of their homes due to the area wildfires.
The distribution events were at Dodger Stadium, SoFi Stadium and BMO Stadium.
Impacted residents with proof of residency in evacuated ZIP codes were eligible to attend. Those who attend were also be able to collect personal hygiene kits, school supplies, sneakers and more items.
Last week, Fanatics, professional leagues and L.A. sports organizations launched the “LA Strong” collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts, with all proceeds benefiting the L.A. Fire Department Foundation and the American Red Cross.
Fans can visit fanatics.com/lastrong to purchase the items and support communities in need.
L.A. sports teams earlier pledged more than $8 million in donations.
The combined donations of the Dodgers, Angels, Rams, Chargers, Lakers, Clippers, Sparks, Kings, Ducks, Galaxy, LAFC and Angel City FC will benefit the American Red Cross, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund, Team Rubicon and various local animal rescue organizations, the Dodgers said.
