What began as a launch celebration of ImpactSoul, a revolutionary ecosystem designed to weave impact into everyday life, blossomed into an evening of healing and hope for a community grappling with the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Listening intently to the whispers of need, ImpactSoul swiftly turned their launch event at Venice’s Vatom House into a fundraiser and created a Giving Circle in partnership with Dollar Donation Club.
“When the fires broke out, we diverted our attention immediately to take care of our community first,” said Tony Greenberg, Co-Founder & CEO of ImpactSoul. “Stand With LA” opened its doors to the greater Los Angeles community and offered free admission to wildfire survivors, first responders, and volunteers. This event raised $12,000 for the LA Wildfire Giving Circle to fund wildfire relief efforts.
More than just a fundraiser, the event became a sanctuary. Over 200 guests found solace and strength as they connected with one another. A dedicated team of over 20 volunteer bodyworkers, healers, and yogis offered their gifts and provided a nourishing space for deep restoration. Laughter and levity punctuated the evening, guided by comedian Ben Gleib, while the creator of The Kindness Hub, Trek Thunder Kelly, moderated a courageous conversation with wildfire survivors.
This event witnessed the power of community, empathy and agility in times of crisis. As Los Angeles bands together to rebuild and recover, may strength and hope prevail and carry this town forward.
