The HOPE Foundation Supports Those Affected by Wildfires in LA

— February 1, 2025 — Social Good
The HOPE Foundation has launched a campaign to support families displaced by wildfires in Los Angeles. In response to the current environmental challenges, the foundation is now focusing on uniting communities for collective impact.

The We LOVE LA fundraising events include a Valentine's Day dinner and entertainment fundraiser. The organization aims to raise $1 million. The funds will benefit families with children in the hardest-hit areas of Los Angeles, with donations routed through the Pasadena Education Fund. The goal is to help students regain educational stability during a time of crisis and ensure continuity in their academic progress.

The HOPE Foundation's event will feature performances from faculty members of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, as well as a virtual connection to a family from LA. Alongside this, supporters can contribute by attending other events or making direct donations.
