Two Los Angeles County sheriff's stations will host a charity "bus pull" event Saturday to raise funds for residents affected by the deadly Eaton Fire that devastated Altadena earlier this year.
"Bus Pull 2025" promises to be "a high-energy, family-friendly event aimed at uniting the community and raising critical funds for local charities that directly serve Altadena residents impacted by the recent Eaton Fire by pulling a 50,000-pound sheriff's department transportation bus," according to a sheriff's department statement.
The event will take place on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First City Credit Union on Woodbury Road in Altadena.
Teams will be made up of community members, first responders and local organizations.
"We are honored to announce the attendance of Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who will be joining us in support of this powerful effort to uplift and restore our Altadena community," according to a sheriff's department statement.
Proceeds will go to vetted charities and relief organizations working to provide shelter, food, medical support and rebuilding assistance to fire victim.
"Bus Pull 2025 is more than just a competition," said Altadena Sheriff's Station Captain Ethan Marquez. "It's a declaration that Altadena stands strong. We invite everyone to come out, cheer, donate and show what it means to be part of this incredible community."
There is still time to form a team of up to five people to try pulling the bus, or to sponsor the event. Donations can also be made online or at the event itself.
