Delivering aid, care, and comfort to Los Angeles’ most vulnerable citizens
Mission accomplished! Thanks to City Councilmember John Lee and his Senior Advisor Ron Rubine, we have delivered the check to the Mayor's office! After tallying up all the funds we collected from our ALL TOGETHER NOW- LA ONLINE TELETHON on April 25th, Team Get Together and some friends delivered $125k to City Hall on Thursday, June 18, 2020. Pictured from left to right: John & Bridgette Pratt, Lynn Gaytan, Lauri Reimer, Kevin & Mare Wachs, Rebecca Holden, John Lee, Ron Garrett, Steven Goddard, and Mark Jacques. (And we even got a little tour of City Hall!)
The Tribe has been performiJohng benefit concerts for the Get Together Foundation since 2015. Inspired to do something for GTF during the coronavirus pandemic, they put together a beautiful concept video of the classic Beatles song, ”With a Little Help from My Friends”, later released by Joe Cocker. It was debuted during our All Together Nowall-star telethon for the City of L.A. on April 25, 2020.

She is the president of the Chatsworth Key Club, which gives her the opportunity to be a great leader & help our community. Laney loves to read books and have fun with her friends.
