FireAid is a benefit concert organized to support those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The concert will take place on January 30, 2025, at two venues in Inglewood, California: the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. The event has been rapidly organized by the Azoff family in collaboration with Live Nation and AEG Presents, with Shelli Azoff playing a pivotal role in its conception and execution.
Purpose
The primary goal of FireAid is to raise funds for the relief efforts following the wildfires. All proceeds from the concert will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation to support both short-term relief and long-term initiatives aimed at preventing future fire disasters. Donations can be made through FireAidLA.org, and Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his wife Connie will match all donations made during the live broadcast, effectively doubling the proceeds.
