Guy Fieri and Kevin Costner, two renowned figures in the entertainment industry, shared a special bond during the Fanatics party ahead of Super Bowl LX. The two discussed their dedication to supporting veterans and first responders, a cause that is close to both of their hearts.
Fieri, known for his work on 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives', expressed his admiration for Costner's efforts in this area. He mentioned a program in Santa Barbara that aims to support veterans and first responders, and suggested a potential collaboration between the two. Fieri praised Costner as 'the real deal' for his contributions to this cause, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating those who keep the country free.
Costner, a two-time Academy Award winner, is an executive board member of One805, a non-profit organization established to support first responders in the aftermath of the 2018 wildfires and mudslides in Santa Barbara County. He has hosted One805LIVE!, a significant fundraising event, at his ocean-side estate in Summerland for several years. Costner acknowledged that while he receives credit for his efforts, the real heroes are the men and women he and Fieri are highlighting.
Both Fieri and Costner emphasized the importance of honoring and supporting veterans and first responders, with Fieri stating that there is not enough attention given to these unsung heroes. He believes that everyday citizens should do more to celebrate and acknowledge the sacrifices made by the military and veterans. Fieri's Guy Fieri Foundation is dedicated to serving those who serve the country, providing support and recognition to first responders and veterans during times of disaster and beyond.
