LA Wildfires Response Fund

STS and TSF approved creation of the STS Los Angeles Wildfire Response Fund with a lead gift of $100,000. In total, attendees and STS members collectively donated a total of $175,028. 

Beneficiaries of the fund will be Direct Relief and United Way of Greater Los Angeles, two organizations that are actively involved in medical emergency response and longer-term disaster relief. We are moved by the work that both organizations do with lower income and at-risk individuals and believe that STS and TSF values are reflected in these groups. Proceeds will be split evenly between the two organizations. #STSforLA
