The Gala served as a fundraiser with the proceeds benefiting the Dodgers Dreamfields and Reviving Baseball in the Inner City program. The Dreamfields program builds and refurbishes baseball and softball fields in the Los Angeles area and has already completed 50 fields. The Reviving Baseball in the Inner City program works to increase sports participation, while also bringing resources to underserved communities. The Foundation has already funded $21 million into serving the Los Angeles Community while benefiting over 10,000 children in the area.
