Meet rescue volunteers, Schuyler and David! Our KNX Heroes of the Week aid a local mountain rescue team, saving lives while risking their own!

We check in with former KNX Hero of the Week Rene Amy of Altadena, who sowed over 250-million poppy seeds to “poppify” the community devastated by the Eaton Fire.

Rene Amy lost his home and everything he owned in the Eaton Fire, along with many of his neighbors. The Great Altadena Poppy Project is just one of the numerous ways he’s been giving back to his community! Many of those beautiful flowers have bloomed, encouraging Rene, and bringing light and joy to a community rebuilding! Click to hear his recent conversation with KNX Heroes host, Heather Jordan.

Meet Madeline Smith of OC Sober Gals! Our KNX Hero of the Week is creating a fun, unique community for women all over SoCal!

It can be hard as an adult, to find new friends or like-minded people to hang out with. For women who are also sober - it can be very hard finding places where alcohol is not being served. So, Madeline Smith of San Clemente created an organization called OC Sober Gals, where women can get together and connect, without the pressure or temptation of a drink. Imagine taking a boat trip, celebrating a Galentine's Night, visiting a TV game show and more! Click to hear her conversation with KNX Heroes host, Heather Jordan.
