On this 4th of July, we have a lot to celebrate. But remember, fireworks are illegal in the City of Los Angeles. If you see something, say something.
Report illegal fireworks at 877-ASK-LAPD (877-275-5273)

The @KellyBrushFdn was built to inspire and empower people with spinal cord injuries to live active and engaged lives. They’ve been using Group Challenges to give their community a way to compete in some (mostly!) friendly competition.
