PlayStation Maker Sony Donates $5 Million to Los Angeles Wildfire Relief
Sony, the PlayStation maker, has contributed $5 million to aid first responders, community recovery initiatives, and support programs for those impacted by the devastating wildfires currently engulfing Southern California.
In a joint statement shared on X/Twitter, Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony's chairman and CEO, and Hiroki Totoki, president and COO, emphasized Los Angeles's significance as the home of Sony's entertainment operations for over three and a half decades. They pledged continued collaboration with local leaders to identify the most effective ways Sony Group can contribute to relief and rebuilding efforts in the coming days.
The crisis, which began on January 7th, persists, with three major wildfires continuing to wreak havoc across the greater Los Angeles area a week later. According to BBC reports, the fires have claimed 24 lives, with 23 individuals still unaccounted for in the two largest affected areas. Firefighters are preparing for challenging conditions as stronger winds are anticipated.
Sony's contribution is part of a broader corporate response to the disaster. CNBC reports that other companies have also made significant donations, including Disney ($15 million), Netflix and Comcast ($10 million each), the NFL ($5 million), Walmart ($2.5 million), and Fox ($1 million), amongst others.
