Mariners Church

Over the past week, I have done research into many organizations collecting donations and helping on the ground in response to the disaster in Los Angeles.

With that being said, I have decided to start a fundraiser to help raise money for aid to those impacted by the wildfires. The funds collected will go to Mariners Church , located in Irvine, CA.

Mariners Church is a non denominational church in Irvine, CA. I wanted a local organization as I feel they will be more in touch with local groups and individuals that have been effected and can deliver aid in a more direct manner than say a Red Cross could. I specifically picked this church because it is the church my former agent, Joe Sambito, and his family currently attend. After speaking with some members of the administrative staff this week I feel they will be great stewards of our money and getting into the hands of people that certainly need it a helluva lot more than any of us do right now. Please donate. 

Here is what Mariners Church is doing to help the Los Angeles community (verbatim from Mariners Church :

My Message To You

If you don't know me, my name is John Rocker. I am a former MLB pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, and Texas Rangers. I am also a life lifelong conservative and America-first patriot devoted to speaking out against wrong doings in our government.

Over the last 10 or so days, I have been distraught watching the horrific damage that the wildfires have, and continue to cause in the Pacific Palisades and throughout Greater Los Angeles. In the wake of the Biden Administration's continued funding of the War In Ukraine, American's homes, neighborhoods, businesses, and public facilities were, and continue to be burnt to the ground.

I am very thankful that so many people care to follow and engage with me on . While I oftentimes try to be critical, political, and humorous, I also want to leverage my platform for a good cause.
