Support Our Heroes: Helping Southern California Firefighters

We’re the Swim Up Hill Foundation, a community organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our team is passionate about helping kids and families thrive—whether that’s through teaching water safety or stepping up in times of crisis. With the devastating Southern California wildfires raging, we felt called to help the heroes on the frontlines: our firefighters.

Who We Are and Our Mission:

We’re led by Jamal Hill, a Paralympic medalist and advocate for community well-being. As an LA-based organization, we’re connected to the neighborhoods and people impacted by these fires, and we want to give back to the firefighters protecting them.

How Your Donations Will Be Used:

100% of the money raised will go directly to supporting firefighters as they battle these wildfires. Your contributions will help provide:

Essential Supplies: Hydration packs, energy snacks, and other items to keep firefighters fueled during their shifts.

Meals: Providing hot, nourishing meals to sustain them during these grueling conditions.

Support Resources: Covering additional equipment or resources needed on the frontlines.

Who We’re Helping:

We’re focused on assisting firefighters across Southern California who are risking their lives to save ours.

How You Can Get Involved:

In addition to donations, we’re looking for community volunteers to help distribute supplies. If you’re local and have time to lend a hand, we’d love your support.

We’re so grateful for every donation, every shared post, and every offer to help. Thank you for standing with us and with the brave men and women who are working tirelessly to protect our communities.

With all our gratitude,

Jamal Hill and the Swim Up Hill Foundation
