Global superstar The Weeknd has pledged $1 million to support the Los Angeles community in the wake of the devastating Palisades and Eaton Fires. His generous donation will benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation, GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, providing critical aid to firefighters, displaced residents, and families in need.

In collaboration with the World Food Program USA and The Weeknd’s own XO Humanitarian Fund, this contribution highlights the artist’s dedication to humanitarian causes. The funds will help supply vital equipment and resources to LAFD firefighters, deliver emergency grants to families who’ve lost homes and property, and ensure food security for those impacted by the disaster.

Out of respect for those affected, The Weeknd has also made the difficult decision to cancel his planned album release concert at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. This move underscores his commitment to prioritizing the well-being of the community over personal and professional milestones.

The Weeknd’s donation is a call to action for fans and supporters to contribute to these vital organizations working tirelessly to support wildfire relief efforts:

The Weeknd’s act of compassion is a reminder of the power of generosity during times of crisis. Fans and community members are encouraged to join the efforts to support those in need and help rebuild the lives of those impacted by the wildfires.
