Through the Blue Wishes Program, the Los Angeles Dodgers organization is able to bring joy to people struggling with serious medical conditions. In 2024, Dodgers player Shohei Ohtani surprised Albert, a young fan and pediatric patient, with a signed jersey and the opportunity to throw out the first pitch.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, in collaboration with the HollyRod Foundation, hosted a workshop in honor of Autism Awareness Month. Thirty participants were invited to a sensory-friendly experience at Dodger Stadium for a day of painting and friendship bracelet crafting. Dodger players Teoscar Hernández, Tony Gonsolin, and Jack Dreyer also made special appearances.
The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted a two-day VIP experience for seven special kids, in partnership with Make-A-Wish and Fanatics. Each child was signed to a one-day contract by Manager Dave Roberts and were treated to a stadium tour, a panel with current Dodger broadcasters, a VIP viewing of Batting Practice, and best of all, a session of catch on the field with some of their favorite players.
