OTA's California Wildfire Relief

Our hearts are breaking for the lives that have been lost, the thousands of residents displaced—including our own OTA employees and students—and structures burnt as a result of the Woolsey, Hill, and Camp fires that hit California last week. 7,000 structures, most of them homes, have been lost in the Northern California “Camp Fire” alone. It is considered the most destructive fire in state history. Unfortunately, the worst may not be over yet as fast-moving winds combined with dry conditions are exacerbating the situation. Officials say it could take weeks before these deadly wildfires are contained.

At a time such as this, we are encouraging each of you to do whatever you can to help ease the tremendous pain of our OTA employees, students and their families affected by these fires. Any amount is helpful. In fact, often it is not the amount given but the expression of love and concern that has the biggest impact.
