One805LIVE! 2025
Where Does Your Dollar Go?
At One805, every dollar is mission-driven.
Two revenue streams. One purpose.
1. Direct Donations
- 100% of every gift goes straight into a fund overseen by our Chiefs Advisory Board.
- The Board awards grants for mental-wellness programs for first responders and their families, as well as for critical equipment that isn’t covered by annual budgets.
2. Event Ticket Sales
- Revenue from One805LIVE! ticket sales covers all production and operating costs. No donor funds are used.
- After expenses, 100 % of net proceeds are added to the same wellness-and-equipment fund.
- Artists donate their time, waiving their fee.
Why you can give with confidence
- No donor dollars are spent on events.
- One805’s overhead is extremely low

One805 Story
On January 9, 2018, our community was ravaged by a devastating natural disaster. The Montecito Mudflow claimed the lives of 23 of our community members and hundreds of homes were destroyed.
We realized our First Responders needed our help and support, so we brought the community together to say thank you, and we haven’t stopped since.

Today, One805 is a permanent 501(c)(3) corporation, raising funds for all three First Responder groups – Fire, Police, and Sheriff – purchasing equipment, providing wellness counseling & taking care of those who take care of us.
Our First Responders need support from their community year round, just as they are always here for us.
One805 supports our First responder community by helping provide these essential resources along with, PTSD counseling and public emergency preparedness.
Our Impact
One805 Events
Boring events are not our style! We raise the roof and kick it up a notch with great music, laid back dress-code and fabulous food. We have become known for throwing the most fun fundraisers in town, be it the famous “Kick Ash Bash” for 4,000 First Responders and 10 hours of music, or the more recent “One805 LIVE!” event with two Grammy Award winning hall of famers - Danny Seraphine of Chicago and Robbie Krieger of The Doors.
