Why RisePhoenixLA?

When wildfires destroyed homes, schools, and music programs in the Malibu, Palisades, and Eaton fires, many students lost everything.

As they recover from the loss of their homes, schools, instruments, and sense of security, they have been relocated to safer campuses to continue their education.

While these schools are welcoming them with care, they don’t have the instruments needed for students to take part in music classes.

That’s where we have already stepped in. Music is essential for healing, and the time to help is now.

“In order to rise / From its own ashes / A phoenix / First / Must / Burn.”
