The Los Angeles Dodgers and L.A. Dodgers Foundation (LADF) are hosting a second online auction featuring player experiences, game-used and autographed memorabilia, and other experiences and opportunities in order to raise funds for coronavirus (COVID-19) relief efforts and racial inequality.

Money raised will provide critical donations to improve education, health care, homelessness, and social justice for all Angelenos. The auction is already live and ends Sunday, June 14 at 5:00 p.m. PT.

Fans can also support relief efforts by texting “Relief” to 41623 or visiting Dodgers.com/Relief to donate to the campaign.

Among other experiences, the auction features a chance to guest host on the “Big Swing Podcast” with Ross Stripling and Cooper Surles, and opportunity to video conference with Andre Ethier and DodgerTalk co-host David Vassegh on AM 570 L.A. Sports.

Autographed jerseys from Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger, Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, Justin Turner, Kenley Jansen, David Price, Corey Seager, Max Muncy, Gavin Lux, Will Smith and Alex Wood are also available.

So too are 13 custom model MB50 Pro reserve baseball bats autographed by Betts, and game-used cleats donated by Kershaw, Buehler, Muncy and Jansen. Exclusive meet and greet experiences with Kershaw, Lux and Smith, including the opportunity to watch the Dodgers take batting practice from a VIP location are also part of the online auction.

The Dodgers and LADF launched joint relief efforts in early April and have worked with team partners to provide more than 145,000 meals to the most vulnerable Angelenos and more than $177,000 worth of food, water, hygiene necessities, gift cards and memorabilia to community organizations.

Part of the ongoing relief efforts was a day of providing Dodger Dogs at The Dream Center during the nonprofit’s lunch hours of their daily meal program.
