Grammy Winner The Game Joins Pasadena Credit Union’s Fire Relief Efforts

Local financial institution transforms into hub for emergency aid distribution as wildfires impact community

Grammy-winning rapper The Game visited Pasadena Federal Credit Union’s Lake Ave. Branch Community Center on Wednesday to support residents affected by the recent Eaton Fire disaster.

The artist joined local leaders, business owners, and community members alongside Inglewood Mayor’s Chief of Staff Sharis Rhodes, representatives from radio station 95.5 KLOS, and Altadena Chamber organizers.

During his visit, The Game distributed air purifiers to local businesses and listened to accounts from victims who lost their homes, sharing his experiences growing up in Los Angeles.

According to credit union officials, The Game and his team have actively delivered essential supplies, including food, drinks, and blankets, to firefighters battling blazes on Pasadena’s front lines.

“We are incredibly grateful for The Game’s compassion and for everyone who came together to support those in need,” said James Chang, Pasadena Federal Credit Union’s CEO.

Chang emphasized that the Community Center has become a central distribution point for donations from the Altadena Chamber, reaffirming its mission to support members rebuilding during challenging times.

The credit union offers comprehensive financial assistance, including Short-Term Emergency Loans, Loan Payment Assistance, fee exceptions, and penalty-free certificate withdrawals for existing members affected by the disaster.

The Game also participated in animal rescue missions to reunite pets with their families following the fire’s aftermath.

Additionally, The Source LA said on social media that The Game appeared at a Pasadena church on Wednesday as part of the #DenaRelief efforts.
