Los Angeles has been devastated by the wildfires burning throughout the area, destroying thousands of structures and forcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes. While the efforts to contain these fires is ongoing, the Rams and owner Stan Kroenke are providing aid in the recovery process.
The Rams announced on Friday that the Kroenke Family will donate $1 million to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. The Rams also announced their support for the American Red Cross.
“On behalf of our family and the Los Angeles Rams, our thoughts are with everyone affected by the unfathomable fires and destruction. We are beyond grateful for the tireless efforts of our first responders who continue to protect our community as well as individuals who continue to help our neighbors in need. We know there are both immediate and long-term needs and our family and the Rams are committed to doing our part to support recovery efforts now and into the months and years ahead,” said The Kroenke Family.
We’re committed to doing our part to support recovery efforts now and into the months and years ahead. 💙💛

The Rams have also been joined by the Texans, Chargers, Vikings and NFL Foundation, which will be donating $1 million each to wildfire relief efforts, bringing the total to $5 million in donations. The city’s recovery is going to be long but the NFL is committed to aiding in those efforts.
On Monday night, Rams players and coaches will be wearing custom LAFD hats and shirts to recognize the work of those dedicated first-responders. Hats and shirts will be available for fans to purchase on the Rams’ official store, with all profits going to the LAFD Foundation and American Red Cross.
Additionally, the 50/50 raffle during the Rams-Vikings game will benefit the LAFD and American Red Cross, with 50% of the jackpot total going to those two funds.
