Kim McCleary-LaFrance Memo

As many of you may have seen in today’s paper, Garth Brooks will be performing a benefit concert in Los Angeles with all ticket proceeds going to the “Southern California 2008 Fire Relief Campaign,” a campaign of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. Funds raised will benefit agencies assisting fire victims, the first responders to the Los Angeles and San Diego wildfires and California's other firefighting departments. The event will be sponsored by American Express and the Los Angeles Times will be the official media sponsor. The McCormick Tribune Foundation will match the first $2 million raised from ticket sales at 50 cents on the dollar (up to $1 million dollars).

For more information, the press release with complete ticket and campaign details is below.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
