Steph Curry prevailed against Chris Paul once again in a showdown on ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud on Sunday June 24th. The stakes? A $25,000 donation to the player’s charity of choice. The Curry Family win means a $25,000 donation will be made to our very own Sonoma County Resilience Fund, which was established in October 2017 to support long-term fire recovery following the devastating wildfires that struck Sonoma County, destroying more than 5,300 homes and 126 businesses.

The Resilience Fund is the largest long-term recovery fund in Sonoma County, making grants to support organizations working towards fire recovery in three key areas:
