IHEARTCOMIX and Brownies & Lemonade Announce LA Gives Back 2020

IHEARTCOMIX and Brownies & Lemonade announce the return of LA Gives Back, a holiday benefit to fight homelessness on December 17 via Twitch.

‘Tis the season of giving back and spreading cheer, following a year that everyone is stoked to retire in the coming weeks. IHEARTCOMIX and Brownies & Lemonade is raising awareness and creating change with the fifth annual event, LA Gives Back, a holiday benefit that tackles the nationwide issue of homelessness.

Since 2016, LA Gives Back and the local dance community has raised over $200,000 for Los Angeles charities like Downtown Women’s Center and My Friend’s Place. Typically the event is in-person in Los Angeles, but the pandemic had other plans in mind. Like the geniuses they are, IHEARTCOMIX and Brownies & Lemonade finessed and found a way to make the event happen and bigger than ever before. This year, LA Gives Back is a 24-hour telethon, taking place exclusively on Twitch, December 17 at 5 pm PT.

IHEARTCOMIX and Brownies & Lemonade added another organization, SchoolHouse Connection, into the mix to support and assist others on a national scale. The event itself is packed with talent from a wide of artists like A Club Called Rhoda, AC Slater, Baauer and Holly, Madeon, Party Favor, Snakehips, and many more. You can also expect appearances from Eric Andre, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others throughout the show as well!

When asked about this year’s edition, Frankie Chan of IHEARTCOMIX shared “LA Gives Back is exactly that, our community giving back. After the success of the last four years, we’ve decided to make this an annual institution and expand the giving to the whole country with our partners Brownies & Lemonade as a global live stream telethon special. Twitch has given us both the opportunity to share this amazing event with the world and we can’t thank them enough.”

Here’s how you can help and donate. To support the three organizations, LA Gives Back is partnering with Fandiem, a digital sweepstakes marketplace bringing exclusive experiences and prizes to fans. Starting now, you can donate for a chance to win prizes like a signed case of ranch dressing from Eric Andre (No, seriously), a signed Cody Bellinger jersey (Go Dodgers!), a year supply of Guayakí Yerba Mate, and more.

All sales, donations, auction sales, and charitable contributions will go towards the national charity SchoolHouse Connection and Los Angeles charities Downtown Women’s Center and My Friend’s Place. Let’s do our part to support others and shine our light during these dark days. You can get more information on the official LA Gives Back website.
