The California Fire is undoubtedly one of the major tragic incidents that occurred in American history. Thousands lost their homes, and the casualties have left the Los Angeles Dodgers heartbroken. Due to the devastating wildfire effects, games were postponed, and now, the Los Angeles team and Fanatics have come together to lend a helping hand. Guess how?
Hoping to create a unique donation plan to support the victims of the tragic wildfire in California, the Dodgers, teaming up with Fanatics, will provide the support and equipment needed to respond to the catastrophe. One notable mention among the Dodgers crew is Freddie Freeman, who has also made donations for the tragic incident.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, in collaboration with the LA sports community and the Fanatics, have developed a creative plan—they intend to sell the LA Strong merchandise without making any profit. Moving forward, the earnings will be donated to the American Red Cross and LA Fire Department Foundation. How does that help? Well, the donations will help to assist the victims of the wildfire, who lost their homes and possessions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ MVP, Freddie Freeman, and his wife have made significant donations for the wildfire efforts—$100,000 each to the LA Fire Department Foundation, Salvation Army, and the Pasadena Fire Department. Many have taken notice of his dedication to helping the Los Angeles Dodgers after he helped them win the World Series. Moreover, Freeman’s ventures in these tough times have influenced others to step up during the crisis, including fellow Dodgers star Chris Taylor.

Taylor and his wife have also launched a fundraising campaign with the help of their CT3 foundation, raising around $5000 to support LA in the wildfire relief efforts. Although the donation might seem negligible, the impact it creates is huge.
