Dodgers Dream Foundation
Founded in 1998, the Dodgers Dream Foundation (DDF) was created to provide educational, athletic and recreational opportunities for the youth of the Greater Los Angeles community. The Foundation places special emphasis on helping traditionally under-served youth.
The Dodgers Dream Foundation Community Diamond is divided into Four Bases:
1st Base - Recreation - The Dodgers' Dream Fields program is a partnership between the Dodgers, the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and local city officials. The DDF has completed eight Dream Fields at the following sites: Dodgers Dream Field at Culver Marina Little League, Seoul International Park, Algin Sutton Recreation Center, Montecito Recreation Center, Cheviot Hills Park, Bishop Canyon Recreation Center, Wrigley Field and Evergreen Recreation Center.
2nd Base - Education - The DDF also supports education through a number of programs including the Team 42 scholarship program, the Times in Education Team Think Blue program and the Dodger Reading Dugout program.
3rd Base - Health - In 2007, the Dodgers created ThinkCure!, their official charity and a key beneficiary of the Dodgers Dream Foundation. The partnership with City of Hope and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles is designed to cure cancer in our lifetime.
Home - Environment - In honor of their 50th Anniversary in Los Angeles, the Dodgers established "Think Blue...Act Green," and committed to a series of annial initiatives to improve the environment.
The DDF raises funds through a number of
fundraising events including the
Dodgers Dream Foundation Message Board,
Community Wall of Fame and
Silent Auctions. The DDF also hosts its annual Charity Golf Invitational and Bowling Extravaganza and receives contributions throughout the year from various individuals and corporate entities.
