One805LIVE is a high-profile annual benefit concert and community event organized by One805, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting First Responders in Santa Barbara County. The organization was founded in response to the devastating 2018 Montecito Mudflow and the preceding Thomas Fire, which deeply impacted the local community and underscored the critical role of Fire, Police, and Sheriff departments. One805's mission is to provide essential equipment, mental health counseling, and emergency preparedness resources to those who serve on the front lines, addressing both physical needs and PTSD support[2][4]. The inaugural large-scale event, the "Kick Ash Bash," was held shortly after the disasters, raising over $2 million to directly support First Responders and their families. This marked the beginning of One805’s ongoing commitment to community-driven support efforts[4]. One805LIVE evolved from this foundation into an annual star-studded concert that combines entertainment with a strong philanthropic purpose, hosted at notable venues such as Kevin Costner’s oceanfront estate. It has featured Grammy-winning artists like Danny Seraphine (Chicago) and Robbie Krieger (The Doors), as well as past performers including Pink, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, John Fogerty, and Joe Bonamassa[2][5][6][7]. The event is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, pairing live music with gourmet food and premium beverages from local sponsors, creating a festive environment that engages thousands while raising critical funds. It also enjoys high-profile attendance, including celebrities and dignitaries like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have appeared to support the cause and present awards recognizing community service[2][6][7]. One805’s Advisory Board includes heads of all 11 First Responder departments in Santa Barbara County, ensuring that funds raised are strategically allocated to meet urgent needs across fire, police, and sheriff services. This unique collaboration enhances One805’s efficiency and impact, distinguishing i
