Jared Goff and Wife Christen Praised for Wildfire Relief Efforts Ahead of Lions-Commanders Game
A Heartfelt Initiative: The Goff Family Steps Up to Support Los Angeles Wildfire Victims
As the Detroit Lions gear up for a critical divisional round matchup against the Washington Commanders, quarterback Jared Goff and his wife, Christen Harper, are turning attention off the field to support a cause close to their hearts.
The couple has been widely praised for their compassionate response to the devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles—a city that once served as Goff’s professional home.
Giving Back to a Former Home
Before his trade to Detroit, Jared Goff spent the early years of his NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams. Now, despite his focus on leading the Lions to victory, Goff hasn’t forgotten the community where he started his journey. He and Christen teamed up with Crain Homes to raise funds for those impacted by the fires ravaging Southern California.
Crain Homes highlighted the partnership on Instagram, stating, “Defend the Dens: Together for LA. As a company dedicated to creating spaces of comfort and belonging, Crain Homes understands the profound loss of a home and the strength it takes to rebuild.”
The campaign offers fans a unique opportunity to contribute to wildfire relief. Supporters could bid on two VIP tickets to the Lions-Commanders game, featuring front-row seats in Section FLS, exclusive access to the MGM Grand Detroit Tunnel Club, VIP parking, and all-inclusive dining and drinks.
“We’re proud to partner with the Goff family @jaredgoff @christengoff to support @californiastrong—don’t miss your chance to be part of something bigger while enjoying an unforgettable game day experience!” the company added.
Fans Applaud the Goff Family’s Generosity
The initiative quickly gained traction, with fans flooding social media to commend the Goff family for their selfless efforts.
“What an amazing way to support California,” one fan wrote.
Another added, “So humble. Thank you.”
A longtime supporter shared, “As if I couldn’t love you guys more. So honored to know you!”
One comment from a fan who split time between Michigan and Los Angeles perfectly captured the widespread appreciation: “Thank you @christengoff @jaredgoff. As a Michigander who has lived in LA, this fills my heart with appreciation and hope.”
More Than Football: Leadership On and Off the Field
Jared Goff’s leadership extends beyond his role as quarterback. His dedication to both his current team and the broader community demonstrates a commitment to making a meaningful impact.
As the Lions prepare for their Saturday night showdown with the Commanders, Goff’s focus remains on guiding Detroit to the NFC Championship. Yet, his and Christen’s philanthropic efforts highlight a deeper sense of responsibility to help others in times of crisis.
A Game with Greater Meaning
The Lions will face the Commanders at Ford Field, kicking off at 8:00 p.m. ET on Fox. While fans eagerly await the high-stakes playoff game, many will also recognize the significance of the Goffs’ off-the-field contributions.
Their support for wildfire relief serves as a powerful reminder that even amid intense competition, compassion and community care remain at the forefront.
