Here’s the full press release:

“As the people of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities begin the long recovery from the region’s devastating fires, 12 professional sports organizations — Angel City FC, the Angels, Chargers, Clippers, Dodgers, Ducks, Galaxy, Kings, LAFC, Lakers, Rams, and Sparks — have pledged a combined donation of more than $8 million to support victims in need, as well as those fighting the fires.

“Beneficiaries of the teams’ contributions include the American Red Cross, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, California Fire Foundation, Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund, World Central Kitchen, California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund, Team Rubicon, and various local animal rescue organizations.

“Bolstering their financial contributions, the 12 teams, in partnership with the teams’ own foundations, have also joined forces with Fanatics and the Fanatics Foundation to distribute $3 million worth of Fanatics merchandise to Angelenos who have been evacuated from their homes.

“In addition to the apparel items being donated by Fanatics, teams are collectively contributing thousands more items that will be given out at three upcoming events.

These events will also feature individual teams’ community partners on-site at various locations, distributing personal hygiene kits, school supplies, sneakers, and more.

Evacuated victims of the fires will be able to participate in the distribution events on Friday, January 17, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at three locations: Dodger Stadium, SoFi Stadium, and BMO Stadium.

“Angelenos with proof of residency in evacuated Zip Codes will be eligible to attend. Additionally, bus transportation is being offered to help individuals residing in area evacuation shelters travel to stadium distribution sites. Lunch will be provided to individuals and families at the stadium events.”

Last week, Dodgers star Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, donated $300,000, $100,000 to three different organizations to help with fire relief efforts.
