Beyoncé’s BeyGood Partners With LA Non-Profit, Raises $150K For Jamaica Hurricane Relief Fund
Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation partnered with WalkGood LA, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit, to raise nearly $150,000 for its Jamaica Hurricane Relief Fund. The event, BreatheGood, took place on Nov.2, with hundreds of Los Angeles residents gathering for a day of wellness at Kenneth Hahn Park. Along with participating in guided meditations and yoga sessions, there was also a wellness center on-site. WalkGood LA hosts several health and wellness events throughout the year across the city and in its wellness studio, The WalkGood Yard.
This BreatheGood affair was one of the organization’s last events for 2025. The organization’s co-founder, Etienne Maurice, spoke with USC Annenberg Media about the collaboration and the “deep meaning” it carried. “It’s special because we’re collaborating with BeyGOOD, founded by Beyoncé — and today’s proceeds are going toward our WalkGood Jamaica Hurricane Relief Fund,” they said.
“It shows the power of community and people’s willingness to help,” Maurice added. “Because we’re of Jamaican heritage, it was imperative for us to step up — to acknowledge those affected and remind them they’re not alone.” Allana Barefield, Digital Editorial Content Manager for BeyGOOD, was present at the event and said to the crowd, “Beyoncé is so much more than her artistry. Her heart is in giving back. Today we invited our fire-relief grantees and small-business partners to be part of this moment because being good means uplifting those around you.”
When Beyoncé’s not saving the world, she’s making history. Back in August, she was ranked the sixth top producer of the 21st Century, according to Billboard. The ranking was part of the outlet’s “Top Producers of the 21st Century on the Hot 100” list. According to the publication,” before Beyoncé became a solo juggernaut, she was already helping shape the Destiny’s Child sound away from the mic.”
