2023 LOS ANGELES DODGERS FOUNDATION

Organization Summary
The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) is tackling the most pressing problems facing Los Angeles with a mission to improve education, health care, homelessness, and social justice for all Angelenos. Bigger than baseball, LADF envisions a city where everyone regardless of ZIP code has the opportunity to thrive. Since 1995, LADF has invested more than $50 million in programs and grants to nonprofits leveling the playing field. LADF is the proud recipient of ESPN’s Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year, Robert Wood Johnson Sports Award, Beyond Sport’s Sport for Reduced Racial Inequalities Collective Impact Award, and the Aspen Institute Project Play Champion.
To raise important funds to support its Programs, Grantmaking and LADF Initiatives, LADF hosts a variety of in-stadium fundraising events and programs. The Game Day Assistants will support all LADF fundraising activities at all Los Angeles Dodger home games. This position will assist in the implementation and promotion of all in-stadium fundraising such as 50/50 raffle, ribbon boards, retail, and special events held at the stadium.
LADF conducts a 50/50 Raffle fundraising program at all Los Angeles Dodger home games. Every game, fans have the opportunity to purchase a raffle ticket from our 50/50 Raffle sellers located throughout all stadium levels. At the end of the sixth inning, all sales are completed, and a winning ticket number is announced during the 8th inning. The total jackpot for the night will be split 50/50 between the individual with the winning ticket and LADF. In 2022, LADF has raised over $5.1 million through our 50/50 Raffle program!
