Hollywood Park hosting donation drives and distribution events to bring relief to wildfire victims and contributed $10,000 to UniteHere Local 11’s Hardship Fund for displaced workers
INGLEWOOD – In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have swept through Los Angeles, Hollywood Park Casino (HPC) is rallying alongside local partners and first responders to deliver much-needed aid and hope to those affected.
Demonstrating its commitment to the community, HPC has contributed $10,000 to UniteHere Local 11’s Hardship Fund. This fund provides essential assistance to Union members who have lost their homes or property due to the fires. Additionally, HPC has donated 300 cases of bottled water to evacuation centers across the region, ensuring relief for displaced families and individuals.
“At Hollywood Park Casino, we believe in the power of community and coming together during times of crisis. The recent wildfires have impacted so many lives in Los Angeles, and we felt it was our responsibility to support our communities. These efforts are a testament to our commitment to making a positive impact beyond the walls of our cardroom,” shared Deven Kumar, General Manager at Hollywood Park Casino.
As a gesture of gratitude for the bravery and dedication of first responders, HPC is offering complimentary meals to firefighters throughout January. Firefighters can enjoy a meal of their choice from HPC’s Cardroom Bar and Grill, a small token of appreciation for their tireless efforts in protecting the community during this crisis.
To further extend its support, HPC has organized several key events aimed at providing relief and resources to those in need:
HPC and Mega 96.3fm Donation Drive: On Thursday, January 16, 2025, HPC will partner with Mega 96.3fm radio station to host a Donation Drive at its front entrance from 8am-10am and at the Raise Lounge from 7pm-10pm.
