Flutter Lends a Helping Hand in LA Wildfire Recovery

Amy Howe, CEO of FanDuel, expressed the company’s deep connection to the region. She stated, “FanDuel and Flutter have been proud of the Los Angeles business community for over two decades. We are heartbroken by the devastating loss these wildfires have created in a community we call home. We are committed to ensuring our employees are safe and making sure the community has the resources it needs to the heroic efforts of our first responders.”
