As many of you know know by now, a devastating fire ripped through an Oakland, Calif. warehouse last week, claiming the lives of at least 36 people.

The event is nothing short of a tragedy for the Bay Area, and while they can't do anything to bring back the lives of those lost, the community's local NBA team, the Golden State Warriors, released a video on Wednesday pledging $75,000 to the relief efforts.

The Warriors' team slogan is "Strength in Numbers" — and it never rang more true than at this very moment.
