Help Lance Carson Rebuild After Palisades Fire

Lance Carson is a cherished friend, and his daughter Heather and I are reaching out for your support during a difficult time. Lance urgently needs our help.

For 81 years, Lance has called Pacific Palisades home, a beloved coastal community now devastated by wildfires. A familiar figure in the local surf scene, Lance has spent the last five decades in the same home, which is uninhabitable after the fires. With no place to return to, he now faces the overwhelming challenge of rebuilding his life.

A highly respected surfboard shaper, Lance has long been a symbol of style and grace, both in the water and in life. Through his small business, Lance Carson Surfboards, he has poured his heart into his craft, creating boards that reflect his passion. Lance leads a simple life, finding fulfillment in his work and the close-knit community he’s helped foster.

At 81, starting over is an incredible challenge, but Lance has always given so much to others. Now, it’s our turn to give back. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference as he works to rebuild his life, find new housing, and replace essential items like furniture and clothing.

Let’s come together to support Lance during this time of need. Your generosity will help him get back on his feet and find a new place to call home.
