The Walt Disney Company is donating fifteen million dollars towards aid and rebuilding initiatives, following the destructive wildfires that occurred in Southern California this past week.
On Friday, the entertainment conglomerate based in Burbank announced its plan to donate funds to various organizations like the American Red Cross, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. These organizations are committed to aiding victims of the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, which have left a path of destruction by razing homes and businesses in affected neighborhoods. Despite firefighters’ efforts to control smaller blazes that have sparked and rapidly spread due to strong winds.
