We are excited to invite you to the Art & Heart for Heroes Fundraiser, a local art event aimed at raising funds for Los Angeles firefighters who have tragically lost their homes. Eighteen talented local artists have generously donated their artwork for sale, with all proceeds going to support these brave men and women and their families. All proceeds will go directly to the Los Angeles County Firefighters Benefit and Welfare Association which provides assistance to fighters who lost their homes and is a non-profit organization. There will be additional charges to use their go fund me. For more information: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-17/firefighters-who-lost-their-homes-in-eaton-fire
Having witnessed the devastation from the CZU fire in 2020, many of us can relate to the overwhelming loss that Southern California firefighters are facing. It’s hard to feel powerless in such situations, which is why this fundraiser presents an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. We hope you’ll join us in supporting this cause and spread the word to others who may be interested in attending.
Thank you to the artists who donated artwork:
