Musicians Turn Out | Money Flowed Like the Fire Raged!?
FireAidLA was nothing short of a fundraising spectacle—the kind of event that makes history, unites hearts, and sets the bar impossibly high for generosity. The last time we saw something on this scale was 1985's Live Aid, which raised over $100 million. FireAidLA entered the night with a staggering $60 million already secured and a promise that every dollar raised during the event would be matched 100%. While final numbers are still coming in, projections suggest the total will land somewhere between $175 million and $225 million.
WOW! As a professional fundraiser, I get downright giddy thinking about the ripple effect of that kind of support. Lives will be transformed, futures rebuilt, and hope restored in ways we can hardly measure. Everyone involved in this project deserves the biggest, most world-record-breaking group hug imaginable—and media coverage on every platform for the next year!
But FireAidLA Wasn’t Just a Concert
FireAidLA wasn’t just a concert; it was a blueprint for what’s possible when musicians harness their platform for live charity crowdfunding.
Here’s the thing: None of us get through life unscathed. Whether it’s childhood illness, cancer, an autoimmune disease, dementia, or any number of hardships, we all know someone who’s been affected. And while major crises grab headlines, thousands of small and mid-size causes work tirelessly every day, often overlooked and underfunded, striving to lift people out of hardship.
?The question isn’t just:
?“How incredible was FireAidLA?”?
?The real question is:?
