Guggenheim Pledges $50 Million To Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation At 8th Annual Blue Diamond Gala

The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) held their eight annual Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium, which featured players and their significant others, along with other members of the organization from ownership to coaches, attending the party.

Deemed the “Party for L.A.,” the Blue Diamond Gala is presented by the Los Angeles Dodgers ownership group.

Four-time GRAMMY Award winner Ed Sheeran headlined the event, with SportsNet LA reporter Kirsten Watson hosting the signature event. DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak) was the DJ for the reception party.

Sheeran joined a prestigious group of artists to perform at the Blue Diamond Gala, including Usher, Bruno Mars, Maroon 5, Earth Wind & Fire, Fleetwood Mac, John Legend and Jennifer Lopez.

Proceeds from the event benefit the LADF and their programs and initiatives aimed at improving education, health care, homelessness and social justice for all Angelenos.

In the last ten years, LADF fostered a community ecosystem that grew to be bigger than baseball. Now, the organization enters its next phase of evolution and launches a new Strategic Plan: Lasting Impact for Los Angeles, which builds upon its successes by amplifying best practices, scaling solutions to reach more Angelenos, growing its capacity, and refining its work to create a lasting impact for Los Angeles.

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.

The foundation was reimagined in 2013 and has since raised over $95 million and is on track to raise $100 million in 2024. LADF has invested more than $60 million in its programs and grants to local organizations and impacted more than 10 million youth.

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.

Following the star-studded blue carpet was a pre-show dinner party and two hours of entertainment, including post-show party food trucks. In addition to the live performances.

Dodgers pledge donation to LADF

Dodgers owner and CEO Mark Walter announced the Guggenheim Ownership Group pledged a donation of $50 million to LADF. In addition, Dodger ownership will donate another $50 million if the Dodgers reach the World Series in 2024.

“Just as the Los Angeles Dodgers compete at the highest level on the field, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation is peerless in the breadth and depth of its service for the community off the field,” Walter said.

“This donation underscores the importance of every goal the LADF pursues and achieves, and our hope is that together, our baseball team and the Foundation reach the greatest heights in 2024.”
