The NAMM Foundation has established a $50,000 wildfire relief fund to support those affected by the LA Wildfires, while confirming the NAMM Show 2025 will proceed as scheduled on January 21-25.

Anaheim, located 60 miles southeast of the wildfires, remains unaffected with both LAX and Orange County airports operating normally. The organization continues to monitor the situation as winds are expected to calm and fires become contained.

The relief fund will provide needs-based assistance to:

• NAMM members
• Employees of NAMM member companies
• Music education programs
• Music makers affected by the January 2025 fires

"We know the road to recovery will be long for the communities affected. NAMM and The NAMM Foundation are committed to supporting the needs of our members and partners in LA through this unprecedented tragedy," states NAMM CEO John Mlynczak.

Current wildfire impact:

• 24 confirmed deaths reported by LA County Sheriff Roberta Luna
• Over 40,000 acres destroyed
• Largest Palisades Fire only 13% contained
• Santa Ana winds expected to continue for three more days

The NAMM Foundation is currently assessing needs and will soon provide details about fund distribution and application processes. Additional contributions to the relief fund are being accepted to support those impacted by the fires.
