The Oakland Athletics, Golden State Warriors and Oakland Raiders, all of whom currently play in the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum and Oracle Arena complex, each donated $750,000 to the fund that had been put together to help the victims and families of the deadly fire that occurred in Oakland on December 2, 2016.
The fire which started at approximately 11:20 pm PT took place at an old warehouse that had been converted into an artist collective and also housing facility, in the Fruitvale neighborhood of the city. It was called the “Ghost Ship.”
The warehouse was hosting a house music party at the time that included artists from the local music label 100% Silk.
