The recent wildfires in the Los Angeles area have been devastating, leaving communities struggling with loss and the task of rebuilding. Here at BMW of Silver Spring, we may be on the other side of the country, but our hearts are with those affected by this tragedy. We know that many in our community, especially those with military ties, have connections to the Los Angeles area, and we want to express our support during this challenging time. Here is an overview of how BMW has provided meaningful assistance to those impacted by the wildfires.
BMW’s Commitment to Wildfire Relief
The BMW Group has announced a large donation of $1 million to the American Red Cross to support wildfire relief efforts in California. As a long-standing partner of the Red Cross, BMW is dedicated to helping affected communities recover and rebuild after natural disasters.
Sebastian Mackensen, President and CEO of BMW of North America, had this to say about the relief efforts: “The BMW Group has very close ties to California and especially in the Los Angeles area where many of our associates live and work in our regional offices and our design center, in addition to many dealers in the community. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by the California wildfires, the firefighters who are giving their all, and the organizations who are working so hard to support them all.”
