Los Angeles is coming together for a cause at Rise LA 2025, a two-day fundraising event happening on February 14 and 15 from 4–9 p.m. at Elysium DTLA. Organized by 50 of LA’s top photographers — including Jesse Rodriguez, whose photos of the fires brought a stunning reality of the tragedy to the public — the event will showcase artwork for sale, with 100% of proceeds benefiting victims of the recent LA fires.

Attendees can enjoy food, drinks, giveaways, live DJ sets, and lawn games, all set against the stunning backdrop of Elysium’s 8,000-square-foot penthouse and 9,000-square-foot rooftop. On Saturday, a surprise music artist and DJ will perform from 6–9 PM, with limited tickets available.

Rise LA 2025 is shaping up to be a major community-driven effort. The event is free, all ages, and happening rain or shine. To RSVP, visit www.risela2025.com.
