CZU Remembrance and Recovery Gathering

Please join us at the Historic Brookdale Lodge for the third Annual CZU Remembrance and Recovery Gathering. Featuring live music from Sugar by the Pound and the Post Folk Revivalists. This event welcomes everyone to catch up with each other in the spirit of community. 

This event is an annual bonding opportunity for the Santa Cruz Mountains community three years after the CZU Lightning Complex Fire disrupted so many lives in August of 2020. Many are still homeless. The event also includes victimes of the winter storms of 2022/2023. 

1. Honoring the CZU Fire Community
2. Fire Risk Mitigation
3. Resources for disaster victims (CZU and Winter Storm Victims)
4. CZU Barn Raising
5. Food, Music, Merch

Elected officials are invited to attend this event so that they can connect with their constituents. 

"This year is going to be a bit different. The fire community is really struggling right now, many of us are still in emergency after three years. We now have new disaster victims from this winter who need our support just as much. There really isn't anything like your home being ripped from you. My hope and prayer is that those who didn't suffer this loss will never know what this journey is like. Let us come together as a community to get disaster victims back home where we belong so that we can start the process of healing from these tragedies." - Antonia Bradford, fire survivor and event coordinator
