Volunteers, Team Rubicon calls them Greyshirts, are easing the burden of first responders with survivor education and supplies distribution. Greyshirts also performed just-in-time mitigation to reduce the risk of future wildfires in Southern California. Team Rubicon is set to continue with assistance for the community for the months and even years ahead.
“Seeing the destruction caused by the wildfires has left us heartbroken,” said Bob Parsons, Founder of PXG and The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation. “As a company deeply rooted in California’s golfing community, we feel a strong responsibility to support our neighbors during this challenging time. By matching donations to Team Rubicon, we hope to amplify the impact of this relief effort and encourage others to join us in bringing assistance to those affected by these unprecedented wildfires.”
Renee Parsons, CMO of PXG and co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, added, “We have witnessed firsthand the incredible work that Team Rubicon does, not only during natural disasters like these wildfires but also as part of hurricane relief efforts and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their dedication to rebuilding lives and communities is inspiring, and we are honored to support their efforts in this time of need.”
The matching fund will help Team Rubicon expand its operations in California, providing the necessary resources for on-the-ground support, recovery efforts, and rebuilding initiatives. The funds will be utilized for logistics, supplies, and volunteer operations to ensure that those affected receive the aid they most urgently need.
“PXG and The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation continue to invest in our mission, allowing us to assist more communities,” said Team Rubicon CEO Art delaCruz. “Los Angeles is where we are based, and we are committed to our neighbors along with those impacted by disaster across the nation. This is just the beginning of our work in Southern California, we are ready for the long haul.”
PXG encourages people step-up to contribute to the relief efforts in whatever way they can, as every dollar donated will be matched up to $1 million. Together, we can help restore hope and rebuild lives in the wake of this disaster.
