California Governor Gavin Newsom recently appointed Magic Johnson, Mark Walter (Dodgers chairman), and Casey Wasserman (2028 Olympics organizer) to lead a new private-sector initiative focused on wildfire recovery in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles community, reeling from devastating wildfires, received a significant boost with a $100 million commitment from Dodgers owner Mark Walter, the Walter Family Foundation, and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation. This substantial contribution will be directed toward Southern California wildfire recovery and rebuilding, providing crucial resources for those impacted by the blazes.
The funds will likely support a range of needs, from immediate relief efforts like shelter and essential supplies to long-term rebuilding projects and community support programs. This philanthropic endeavor is a touch of light from the Walters’ and the Dodgers’ to the city and its residents during times of crisis.
