Dear Friend,
Like you, Ellen and I know countless friends and coworkers who were tragically devastated by the recent fires. There are wonderful organizations, events, and efforts that are appropriately raising money to help their support and recovery. Some of these laudable efforts are local while others are larger and more centralized.
I thought it would be helpful to share information on both types of efforts with you for your consideration.
The Altadena Rotary Club has been ground zero for several local events. You can contribute to its Eaton Fire Recover Fund through this link:

The Pasadena Community Foundation has also launched the Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery Fund, which can be accessed here:

The Armenian Community tragically lost Sahag Mesrob School. They have an effort on their webpage, which can be found here: S.M.A.C.S.
For folks who want help teachers and school employees, here are two links set up for them:

Donate now to directly assist CSEA members and their families in need! The CSEA Assistance Fund is a tax-exempt nonprofit as described is Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; EIN 82-3776783
There is also the MultiCon event supporting fire relief efforts through the United Way being organized and driven by comedians in Los Angeles on February 22. Here’s a Hollywood Reporter story on MultiCon: Multicon to Benefit L.A. Wildfire Recovery and the link to purchase tickets to attend the event at The Preserve - 1370 St. Andrews Place, Los Angeles, CA, 90028

As an extra incentive, I have been asked to be a guest performer at MultiCon, where I will be doing a little bit of comedy as I pay my respects to first responders and help the recovery effort. I’m scheduled to perform around 6 pm.
