Nashville, TN (February 6, 2025) – The Academy of Country Music announced the launch of a three-week donation drive to help the people of Los Angeles impacted by the deadly wildfires. During this devastating time of unprecedented destruction in Southern California, the Academy is asking those in the Country Music industry to donate clothing, toiletries, and additional supplies (full list below) at locations throughout Nashville. Those locations include the ACM Headquarters, Moo TV, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Music Nashville, and WME. In addition to physical donations, ACM Lifting Lives is helping those who work in Country Music who were impacted by the wildfires and need financial assistance. Please reach out to [email protected] if you need assistance. If you want to make a monetary contribution to support ACM Lifting Lives’ emergency response efforts, you can donate HERE to the Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund.


The Academy’s roots are deeply connected to Los Angeles, with the founding of the Academy in 1964 in Southern California, the first 37 ACM Awards shows taking place in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles serving as the headquarters for the Academy for more than 50 years. With the Academy’s ties to Los Angeles, the Academy is committed to assisting those affected by this tragedy.
