All proceeds benefit One805 and all Santa Barbara County First Responders Funds go toward emergency life-saving equipment, disaster preparedness for all First Responders and 24/7 accessible mental wellness services for all Santa Barbara County Fire Departments. Mental Health support is one of the most requested ‘needs’ from our local firefighters.

In the aftermath of the Thomas fire and subsequent mudslides “One805” was created, hosting the largest non-profit event in Santa Barbara History – The Kick Ash Bash! It brought together actors, entertainers, singers, performers, and most of all, our community in a spirit of healing. First Responders and their families were treated to an amazing day where we were able to put the tragedy behind us. Thanks to the efforts of many, over $2 million was raised to provide counseling support to First Responders and purchase equipment to directly support victims of the tragedy. All who would like to contribute to One805 to assist our local First Responders may do so at One805.org. 100% of all contributions go to first responders and related supportive services. Tickets and sponsorships for One805LIVE! can also be found at www.One805.org.
