Three high school students who’ve known each since kindergarten have been raising funds for their nonprofit, “Build Back Pali.”
Mason Cohen from Windward, plus Jake Yoon and Dylan Fullmer from Harvard-Westlake, have raised thousands of dollars to help rebuild the Pacific Palisades community. All three grew up in the area. All three were affected by the Palisades fire. Yoon lost his house and the other two had houses damaged. Each was forced to leave.
“We are trying to do anything we could for our hometown,” Fullmer said.
Cohen is a star baseball player for Windward and Fullmer plays football for Harvard-Westlake and is the son of former major leaguer Brad Fullmer, one of the best players ever out of Montclair Prep.
They have another charity event on Friday for small businesses.
They spent all of 2025 continuing to help their neighbors and appear determined to keep going in 2026.
