Many of our friends and neighbors lost their homes, businesses, jobs, schools, and places of worship. Our whole community lost important historical and cultural sites with a presence beyond our community. We are coming together to help our Arroyo neighbors from the Eaton Fire area get back on their feet for the only benefit of targeting the Eaton Fire community while featuring the fantastic and diverse talent from the affected areas. By supporting this event, you also support the artists most in need.

We are seeking $10K more in sponsorship to cover all costs. All money raised will go to relief! Sponsors at that level will be listed here and in all the press and VIP tickets.
TICKETS: $36- 175 (plus ticket fees)
Higher-priced tickets will have better seats, and a VIP section will have a pre-show party with the artists.
PROGRAM:
A variety show format showcasing internationally known artists from the Fire Zone, many of whom lost homes, studios, and instruments in the fire. The show will be 90 minutes with no intermission in a kaleidoscope of talent. Here is what we have in the lineup so far (with links to see their performance videos- more artists to come):
- The Altadena Community Theatre is known for high-quality Broadway musicals in Altadena’s Farnsworth Park. However, its founders lost their home and all their props, costumes, and music while also losing Farnsworth Park, their stage.
- Culture Shock LA is a National Hip-Hop dance group and school. The Culture Shock movement gave birth to many famous groups, including America’s Best Dance Crew winners and Vegas favorites Jabbawockeez, World of Dance winners Kinjas, and many more. CSLA works from Elements Dance Studio in NorthWest Pasadena’s evacuation zone.
- Joe Monti, known by magicians as the best of their industry, is a former Magic Castle Board Member and former Magic Producer for Criss Angel Mindfreak. He is a former Glendale resident who lost his home in the Palisades Fire.
- Bluegrass legend Evan Marshal and company, known for their work at Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe as Billy Hill & The Hillbillies from La Canada (also evacuated)
- Melodia Mariposa brings high-caliber classical music to Altadena and Farnsworth Park. Members lost homes in the fire.
- Altadena’s internationally known Afro-Caribbean band Upstream, just back from Carnaval in Trinidad.
We would love to have a well-known A-List celebrity from the area join us, which would help sell tickets! Send them my way!
