A Joyful Step Forward for the Palisades – Let’s Rebuild Together

Dear Palisades Neighbors and Friends,

Today was a day filled with hope and joy. At the press conference this afternoon at the Pally Rec Center, Steadfast LA and the LA Strong Sports Foundation—along with Gensler and Disney—unveiled their vision for a brand-new Rec Center. And let us tell you: it’s beautiful. It’s exciting. And more than anything, it represents the incredible momentum and love pouring into our community.

There are so many wonderful people working tirelessly to help us rebuild—not just buildings, but spirit, connection, and the soul of the Palisades. We’re incredibly proud to be part of this journey with Pali4Pali, and we’re more committed than ever to supporting the future of our town.

To make it easier than ever to support the Rec Center rebuild, Pali4Pali has added a Donate Button powered by Pledge to our website. Your donation will go directly to Steadfast LA, LA Strong Sports Foundation, or be split between both nonprofits leading the charge.

You can give using a credit card, Apple Pay, Venmo, stock, crypto, or even through your donor advised fund—and every donation is 100% tax-deductible, with an instant tax receipt provided.

Donate here now:

You can also support by wearing your love for the Palisades. 100% of the proceeds from all Pali4Pali apparel go directly to the Rec Center rebuild. Our gear not only raises funds—it helps spread awareness and pride throughout our community.

A time will come soon when we’ll call on all of you, our amazing Palisadians, to help with the next phase of this journey. But for now, let’s focus on rebuilding the heart of our community—the Pali Rec Center.

Let’s come together to rebuild Pali Rec better than ever. Thank you for being part of this incredible Palisades community effort.

85 Days Since the Palisades and Eton Fires: A Call to Rebuild Together

It has been 85 days since the Palisades and Eton fires changed our lives forever. Homes have been lost, communities devastated, and hearts broken. Yet, even in the face of this tragedy, one thing remains unchanged—our unwavering bond as a community.

In these past weeks, we have come together—those who are staying to rebuild, those who are putting the community first. But the road ahead is long. Rebuilding will take years, not months. It will require more than just construction—it will require a deep and lasting commitment to one another.

Rebuilding isn’t just about structures—it’s about people. If families across our community look out for one another, regardless of which school their children attend, we all win. Every child in this community must be treated as our own. Now, more than ever, we must put our community first.

That commitment starts with supporting the people and businesses that make our community what it is. If you’re within driving distance and need a haircut, a cup of coffee, or a meal, choose to support the local businesses that are fighting to come back. Even if it’s out of your way, these small efforts are what will bring our town back to life.

Many of us are displaced across the city, county, and even the country. But that doesn’t mean we lose sight of what matters most—rebuilding together. And the first step is restoring the heart of our town: our rec center, our elementary schools, and our small businesses.

Every step of the way, Pali4Pali will be there. We will roll up our sleeves, raise funds, donate, and work with every nonprofit possible. This is our chance to show our children what it means to face adversity—and to rise above it together.

Stand for us all, or stand for nothing at all.

Pali4Pali Launches to Support Palisadians

Dear Neighbors,

We’re excited to introduce Pali4Pali, a grassroots movement dedicated to rebuilding and restoring our community—by the community, for the community. There are no egos here, just action. Whether it’s raising funds, supporting nonprofits, or picking up a hammer ourselves, we’re committed to doing whatever it takes to help our neighbors rebuild and bring Pacific Palisades back stronger than ever.

We are working alongside Steadfast LA, communicating with them weekly to support their efforts in the city and keep our community engaged. Our first initiative is to help raise money for the Palisades Recreation Center rebuild, but as the community’s needs change, so will our focus. We will go where we are needed.

You can check out our website, pali4pali.com, to purchase shirts, hoodies, hats, and more. Follow us on Instagram @pali4pali to stay updated on events and initiatives.

We look forward to reviving our community together!
