The Dodgers partner with Major League Baseball to give back to the community
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers, in conjunction with the Commissioner’s Community Initiative (CCI) and the MLB & Player’s Give Back program, will give away over 80,000 tickets to various community groups in the Los Angeles area during the 2022 season.
Throughout the year, the Dodgers will give away 20,000 tickets through Kids 4 Dodger Baseball, 24,600 tickets to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation to be used in their Dodgers Dreamfields, Dodgers Dreamteam and LADF Gives program and 38,733 CCI tickets equaling the largest number of tickets ever given out during the regular season.
“We are very happy to once again partner with the Commissioner’s Community Initiative and the MLB & Player’s Give Back program to give tickets to those who may never get the opportunity to attend a Dodger game otherwise,” said Naomi Rodriguez, Vice President, External Relations & Community Relations, Los Angeles Dodgers. “We look forward to welcoming everyone to Dodger Stadium.”
On April 29th, at the Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers game, the giant “Dodgers Bobblehead” mascot was captured with the Boys and Girls Club of Whittier. They are members of the Kids 4 Dodgers Baseball youth program and a total of (56) kids and adults had a great time in watching the Dodgers win this game by a score of (5-1).

Serving the greater Los Angeles area and reaching youth as far east as San Bernardino and Coachella Valley, the experience will include gameday tickets, transportation to and from Dodger Stadium, a K4DB t-shirt and a meal voucher for Dodger Stadium concessions.
