Wescom Financial Forgives Debt for SoCal Wildfire Victims

UCLA Women’s Basketball Team Coach to Lend Efforts

Wescom Financial is partnering with ForgiveCo to erase $10 million in consumer debt for residents impacted by the 2025 wildfires. The first phase of this multi-year initiative will provide $5 million in relief to individuals in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, offering unexpected financial support through ForgiveCo’s and the Wescom Foundation’s grantmaking efforts. Eligible recipients will be notified via letters, emails, and text messages in the coming weeks.

UCLA Women’s Basketball Head Coach Cori Close, the reigning National Coach of the Year, who led her team to the Final Four in 2025, joins in on the effort as a long-time Wescom Financial partner and member. Coach Close will support Wescom’s relief efforts throughout the 2025-26 UCLA Women’s Basketball season, lending her voice through content creation and welcoming select beneficiaries to home games with her program.
