The major sports teams from the metropolis want to donate a total of eight million US dollars to support the fire victims in Los Angeles. In addition, people affected by the devastating fires will be able to receive donations in kind at three stadiums in the city - the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball stadium, the Los Angeles FC soccer stadium and the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers football stadiums.
In addition to these four teams, the basketball teams of the Lakers, Clippers and Sparks, the NHL teams Kings and Ducks, the Angels as another MLB team and the soccer teams of Angel City FC and LA Galaxy are also involved.
Since last Tuesday, several fires in the Los Angeles area have caused major difficulties and apocalyptic images. The number of confirmed deaths had risen to 24 by Sunday evening, with more people still missing. More than 100,000 residents had to leave their homes and are still not allowed to return.
