Arnold Schwarzenegger Pledges to Donate $1 Million to L.A. Wildfire Relief: 'I'm Going to Lead the Way'

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced on Instagram Tuesday, Jan. 21 that he is donating $1 million to three separate relief funds as Los Angeles continues to grapple with deadly wildfires across the city. In addition, Schwarzenegger is selling an 'L.A. Strong' t-shirt that he pledged to donate profits from.

The actor and former governor of California shared a post on Instagram Tuesday, Jan. 21, in which he wrote that he is donating $1 million to three foundations to assist in relief efforts more than two weeks after a series of devastating wildfires broke out in L.A. Multiple wildfires in Los Angeles first broke out on Tuesday, Jan. 7 that have since sent tens of thousands of residents — including celebrities like Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Joshua Jackson, Anna Faris, Ricki Lake and Cary Elwes — displaced from their homes. Back in November, he shared a video of himself speaking to local news outlet Fox 11 as he volunteered at a youth center in east L.A. on Thanksgiving Day.
