We’re here with community before competition more than ever

Hey everyone,

The past week has been incredibly challenging for many across LA, with wildfires causing significant disruption and loss. We know that many of you have already stepped up—donating, volunteering, and supporting however you can. We see that, and as fellow Angelenos, it means a lot to know we’re surrounded by people who are stepping up for each other.

As ERYC, we’re organizing a collective effort to help those affected. If you need assistance, know someone who does, or want to get involved, please fill out our Fire Support Survey so we can coordinate and make the biggest impact together.

Take the survey.

With winds picking up again this week, fire conditions may stay unpredictable. Stay safe, keep an eye on local updates, and look out for each other. If you need a break, we’ll have the gym open this week for some casual games and good company—come hang, throw the ball around, and unwind. No need to register, just come by.

      • Wednesday (1/15) – Highland Park Rec (8–10 PM)
          • Drop in at either the 8 or 9 PM hour.
      • Thursday (1/16) – Oakwood Rec Venice (8–9 PM)

If dodgeball sounds like the kind of fun and escape you could use right now, registration is still open—come play with us this season. And if cost is a barrier, we’ve set aside a handful of discounted spots to make it easier to jump in. No stress, just dodgeball.

See you soon,

Chris, Rob, and the ERYC Team

Foam rollers
