The NAMM Foundation has pledged $50,000 to establish the LA Wildfires Relief Fund, supporting NAMM members, employees, music programs, and musicians affected by the Los Angeles area fires. Additional donations are being accepted as the 2025 NAMM Show begins in Anaheim.

The 2025 NAMM Show will run from January 21-25 at the Anaheim Convention Center, featuring industry sessions, over 100 concerts, and new gear exhibitions. Two dedicated LA Wildfire Relief Centers will be available for attendees to learn about supporting relief efforts.

Key Event Highlights:

• January 23: Jack White performs at the TEC Awards, hosted by Skunk Baxter
• January 24: An Evening with Jon Batiste and The Parnelli Awards
• January 25: Jacob Collier performs at The Grand Rally for Music Education
• January 25: She Rocks Awards featuring Christina Perri, Samantha Fish, Amanda Palmer, and more

NAMM CEO John Mlynczak confirms Anaheim remains unaffected by the fires, which are 60 miles northwest, with safe air quality and no fire-related impacts on the surrounding areas. The organization has implemented necessary precautions to ensure a safe event while supporting ongoing relief efforts.

Virtual attendance options are available through online-only badges, providing access to:

• Exclusive gear and product launches
• Networking opportunities
• Livestreamed sessions
• On-demand educational content

The NAMM Foundation will provide further details about relief fund distribution and application processes in the coming days as needs assessments are completed.
