ACM Launches Donation Drive To Assist L.A. Wildfire Victims

/by

The Academy of Country Music has launched a three-week donation drive to help the people of Los Angeles impacted by the deadly wildfires.

During this time of unprecedented destruction in Southern California, the Academy is asking those in the country music industry to donate clothing, toiletries and additional supplies at locations throughout Nashville. Drop-off locations include the ACM Headquarters, Moo TV, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Music Nashville and WME.

In addition to physical donations, ACM Lifting Lives is helping those who work in country music who were impacted by the wildfires and need financial assistance. Those needing assistance can reach out to liftinglives@acmcountry.com. Monetary contributions to support ACM Lifting Lives’ emergency response efforts can be made here to the Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund.

The Academy’s roots are deeply connected to Los Angeles, with the founding of the Academy in 1964 in Southern California, the first 37 ACM Awards shows taking place in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles serving as the headquarters for the Academy for more than 50 years. With the Academy’s ties to the city, it is committed to assisting those affected by this tragedy.
