FireAid will raise money “for rebuilding communities devastated by wildfires and supporting efforts to prevent future fire disasters throughout Southern California”, according to a press release. Contributions will be distributed under the advisement of the Annenberg Foundation, which will “help coordinate a team to direct funds for the greatest impact” and provide “short-term relief efforts and long-term initiatives to prevent future fire disasters”.

The fires began on 7th January and have spread across thousands of acres throughout the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, businesses, schools and wiping our entire communities in it’s wake.

“It’s an honor to be in a position to help a cause as important as rebuilding lives and communities that were devastated by wildfires. I’ll be performing live next to one of my musical heroes, Dave Matthews at @FireAidLA ” stated John Mayer via his official X/Twitter account.
