iHeartMedia Los Angeles to Partner With Westfield For a Fire Relief Fundraiser in Southern California

iHeartMedia Los Angeles announced today the iHeartRadio So Cal Fire Relief Project, a fire relief fundraising effort in partnership with Westfield that will collect much-needed funds for the victims of the ongoing Southern California wildfires. At the time of this release over 260,170 acres have burned in the Creek, Rye, Thomas, Lilac and Skirball fires collectively, and close to 1,217 structures have been destroyed. Fueled by strong winds and dry conditions, devastating wildfires continue to threaten communities throughout Southern California.

The iHeartRadio So Cal Fire Relief Project will launch Wednesday, December 13, when select iHeartMedia Los Angeles radio stations will broadcast live from four Westfield locations from 6:00 a.m. PST to 9:00 p.m. PST. iHeartMedia Los Angeles’ on-air personalities including Ellen K from KOST 103.5, Valentine in the Morning from 104.3 MYFM, Gary and Shannon from KFI AM 640, Vic The Brick Jacobs from AM 570 LA Sports, DJ A Oh from REAL 92.3, Sisanie from KIIS FM, Andy Harms from Alt 98.7 and more, will encourage local listeners to participate in the fundraiser by making monetary donations at one of the four participating Westfield Mall locations.
