Los Angeles, Jan 13 (NationPress) Grammy-winning artist Beyoncé is extending her support to those affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires through her BeyGOOD charity foundation.
The foundation is allocating $2.5 million to assist families in their recovery after suffering significant losses, as reported by variety.com.
BeyGOOD, established in 2013, will direct the funds to families in Altadena and Pasadena, two regions heavily impacted by wildfires that ignited on Tuesday. Beyond aiding those who have lost their homes and belongings, BeyGOOD will also support churches and community centers in other affected areas to meet the immediate needs of the fire victims.
The fires, fueled by strong Santa Ana winds, have destroyed thousands of structures, including homes, businesses, and vehicles. At least 11 people have lost their lives, and this number is anticipated to increase as search efforts continue.
BeyGOOD joins a growing list of organizations that have pledged donations to assist those in dire need following the rampant wildfires in Los Angeles.
On Friday, the Walt Disney Company announced a commitment of $15 million for relief and rebuilding initiatives in the affected communities, while Paramount and Fox Corp. contributed $1 million each to the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Warner Music and the Blavatnik Foundation also declared an initial commitment of $1 million towards the fire relief and reconstruction efforts in Los Angeles.
In addition to financial contributions, Live Nation is organizing a FireAid benefit concert at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA on January 30.
The upcoming Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 2 in Los Angeles, are expected to incorporate significant elements aimed at raising funds for relief efforts for both the city and its music-centered community.
On January 12, rapper Snoop Dogg also came forward to assist those impacted. His clothing store announced that it would provide free clothing to help rebuild the lives of those affected, as reported by aceshowbiz.com.
