Dodgers' Freddie Freeman, Wife Chelsea Donate $300K to LA Wildfire Relief Efforts

Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, donated $300,000 to wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Per Passan, the donation will be given to three organizations including the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, the Pasadena Fire Department and the Salvation Army.

According to CNN, roughly 166,800 Los Angeles County residents remain under evacuation warnings and approximately 57,830 structures are at risk from the fires.

The current Palisades and Eaton fires are two of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles County history, burning 33,700 acres of land (via CNN). Wildfires have killed 10 people.

Dodgers shortstop Chris Taylor is also doing what he can to help out, encouraging fans to donate to his CT3 foundation to assist with fire relief and pledging to match donations up to $5,000.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced that they were donating $200,000 to relief efforts on Wednesday. The Kroenke Family, owners of the Los Angeles Rams, revealed that they were donating $1 million benefitting the LAFD Foundation through their Kroenke Family Foundation.

On Friday, the NFL announced that the league was contributing $5 million to communities impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Ownership groups of the Chargers, Rams, Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans contributed to the donation.

Freeman has spent the past three seasons with the Dodgers, making All-Star appearances in each year. He hit .282 with 22 home runs and 89 RBIs in 2024. Freeman recorded four homers and drove in 13 runs during Los Angeles' recent postseason run, earning World Series MVP honors after the Dodgers clinched a championship.
