Disney is committing $15 million towards initial and immediate response and rebuilding efforts to the devastating wildfires impacting thousands in the greater Los Angeles region.
The money will be used to support on-the-ground services including the American Red Cross, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, among others.
“As this tragedy continues to unfold, The Walt Disney Company is committed to supporting our community and our employees as we all work together to recover and rebuild from this unbelievable devastation,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. “Walt Disney came to Los Angeles with little more than his limitless imagination, and it was here that he chose to make his home, pursue his dreams, and create extraordinary storytelling that means so much to so many people around the world.
