Raider Nation, let's help our friends and family affected by the wildfires in Southern California.
The Las Vegas Raiders announced that the organization will contribute over $270,000 towards wildfire relief efforts in Southern California in the form of donations, in-kind donations, and corporate partnership contributions. The Raiders have also joined with the American Red Cross to create a microsite for donations, enabling those that wish to donate.
"Our hearts are with all those impacted by the fires in Southern California," said Raiders President Sandra Douglass Morgan. "We have been greatly encouraged by the community's response in support of brave first responders and all those affected during this time of need, and we hope to contribute to the relief efforts in support of the region."
The donations from the Raiders and the Raiders Foundation include aid for people affected by the wildfires and support for first responders, including the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, American Red Cross, and the Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada Benevolent Fund, as over 100 Nevada-based fire fighters are currently deployed throughout the impacted areas.
In addition, in-kind donations to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank include food, water, diapers, blankets, toiletries, and clothing for those in need. Through corporate partnership contribution, the Raiders have also distributed gift cards to Southern California based Season Ticket Members to assist with expenses during this difficult time.
