The 44th Annual L.A. Chinatown Firecracker is produced by the nonprofit L.A. Chinatown Firecracker Run Committee (LACFRC), a group of volunteers who donate their time and energy to organize and stage events and programs promoting healthy lifestyles, fitness, cultural awareness, supports education and encourages community participation. LACFRC continues to give back with proceeds reinvested in the community providing service and programs benefitting elementary schools and local nonprofit organizations.\
\
Since March of 2020, LACFRC has contributed countless volunteer hours coordinating with others on pandemic relief efforts and we donated thousands of dollars to purchase meals from neighborhood businesses to feed front line workers and vulnerable community members.\
