The LA Chargers are donating $200,000 to support wildfire relief efforts in their region, including funding for the American Red Cross, LA Fire Department Foundation, Team Rubicon, and pet rescue organizations. The team is also encouraging fans to attend watch parties and supply drives to aid in relief efforts.
As wildfires continue to ravage the Los Angeles area, the Los Angeles Chargers are taking action to help relief efforts. The Chargers announced Wednesday they will provide $200,000 in targeted funding to the American Red Cross, LA Fire Department Foundation, Team Rubicon and pet rescue organizations sheltering animals displaced by the wildfires.
The franchise is also urging fans to attend the 'Charge Up to Playoff' events ahead of the team’s wild-card game against the Houston Texans, which will kick off from Houston on Saturday. The team’s watch party at Hermosa Beach Pier on Saturday will also serve as a supply drive, as the Chargers are asking fans to bring any supplies for evacuation centers, including El Camino Real High School. 'While we're currently experiencing unprecedented conditions that seemingly cannot get any worse as we deal with multiple fires across our region, we're also witnessing our community at its very best,' Chargers owner Dean Spanos said in a statement. 'The bravery, selflessness, courage, sacrifice and compassion on display over the past 24 hours by first responders, good Samaritans, friends, family and neighbors alike has been remarkable. 'Our hearts are with everyone who has been displaced by these fires, the firemen and police officers and frontline workers who are risking their lives to keep us safe and those among us who have stepped up to assist one another in this incredible time of need.' The Chargers had a 'Charge Up to Playoffs' event scheduled for Friday in Sherman Oaks, but the fires continue to devastate the area. However, similar events will be going on as scheduled, and the hope is fans who can provide goods such as blankets, bottled water, new or gently used clothes, first aid kits and more will join the relief efforts
