Help a Youth Empowerment Festival for Eaton Fire Survivor Families

Be the backbone for a day of fun, games, Easter egg hunts, and prizes for youth and families affected by the 2025 Eaton Fire. Held in collaboration with the Eaton Fire Collaborative's partners, Loveland Community Development Corp and Neighborhood Survants.

Why: One year after this devastating fire, many young people in the Altadena and Pasadena communities are still navigating loss, displacement, and trauma. This dynamic, carnival-style festival will provide a safe, uplifting, and empowering space where youth can reconnect, heal, and rediscover hope through creative expression, wellness activities, and community support. Your support will help turn tragedy into hope.

Who: The Eaton Fire Collaborative's volunteer efforts are led by both Loveland Community Development Corp., which strives to create a thriving, sustainable future where every community member has the tools and opportunities to rebuild, grow, and prosper, and Neighborhood Survants, which is a nonprofit that encourages community to drive positive change and make a difference.
