The University of Southern California is coming together to help students affected by the Eaton Fire.
The university is providing books and a grant to help rebuild a school burned in the January wildfire. The book drive was organized by USC’s Keck Medicine.
On Thursday, the Keck staff brought some of the 5,000 books collected from donations to students of Pasadena’s Rosebud Academy. The elementary school was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, and now students are temporarily housed at a nearby campus.
Along with the books, a $20,000 grant from Keck Medicine will go to rebuilding efforts.
“Pasadena Rosebud Academy is more than just a school—it’s a family. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to create a safe, inspiring, and enriching learning environment where students develop critical thinking skills, explore new opportunities, and build lifelong friendships,” the school’s GoFundMe reads.
The Rosebud Academy’s fundraising goal is $100,000. To donate, tap here.
