“We are deeply saddened by the tragic events unfolding in California,” said a spokesperson for Sony Group Corporation. “As a responsible corporate citizen, we feel it is our duty to do what we can to support those in need during this difficult time.”
The donation will be made to various organizations and charities working on the ground to provide emergency assistance, including food, shelter, and medical care to those affected by the fires.
In addition to financial support, Sony Music Entertainment has also pledged to use its resources to help spread awareness about the crisis and encourage others to donate or get involved in relief efforts.
