Steve Ballmer and Connie Ballmer
Los Angeles was still smoldering on Jan. 30 when Steve and Connie Ballmer turned Intuit Dome, home court of the NBA's L.A. Clippers, into a stage for Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, and other A-listers as part of a two-venue mega-concert, FireAid, which raised about $100 million for wildfire relief, including a dollar-for-dollar match by the Ballmers of all donations during the six-hour show, on top of $15 million they had pledged on Jan. 15. Until then, Ballmer Group, the nonprofit created in 2015 after Steve retired as CEO of Microsoft, was largely guided by Connie's passion for helping at-risk children through education and economic mobility programs. That work continues, too, with active grants to more than 500 wide-ranging efforts from providing tuition for Black men studying to become teachers to backing a mentorship program for kids in HeadStart as their generosity amid the wildfires reflects, the couple will pivot, as needed. A decade and more than $7 billion in grants into their lives as philanthropists, the Ballmers are widening their focus at the urging of their oldest son, Sam—and, in the process, seeding a second generation of philanthropy. In October, they launched Rainier Climate Group, a $1 billion initiative to combat climate change that Sam, a passionate environmentalist, will oversee.

Dodger Stadium announced as home for 2028 Olympic baseball tournament in Los Angeles
Dodger Stadium announced as home for 2028 Olympic baseball tournament in Los Angeles Show Caption Hide Caption Los Angeles Olympics move softball and canoe to Oklahoma City Instead of taking place on the West Coast, the sports will be the middle of the country. One of baseball's most picturesque ballparks will be the sport's home base for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. LA28, the city's Olympic organizing committee, announced Tuesday that historic Dodger Stadium – home of the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers – will host the tournament when baseball returns as an official Olympic sport in 2028. It won't be the first time the best baseball players from around the globe have competed against each other in Chavez Ravine. The championship round of the 2017 World Baseball Classic was held there as Team USA defeated Puerto Rico 8-0 for the title. In addition, baseball was played as an exhibition sport when Los Angeles last hosted the Summer Games in 1984. Baseball didn't become an official Olympic sport until 1992. It's been contested a total of six times during the Summer Games, the last being in Tokyo in 2021. The USA lost that year to host Japan in the gold-medal game. Other L.A. Olympic sports sites In addition to baseball at Dodger Stadium, several other venues in the greater Los Angeles area that are familiar to pro and college sports fans will be used for Olympic competition.
