Proceeds will benefit the Dodgers Dream Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The development of the Dodgers Dream Foundation has helped us serve the Los Angeles community in a variety of ways. Structured to emulate the bases of a diamond in its areas of emphasis, the charitable engine focuses at first base on recreation, with the building of Dodgers Dreamfields the marquee example. At second base, the foundation emphasizes education by providing, among other things, scholarships to deserving students. The signature project is the support of "Team 42," our roster of "Dodger Scholars," students who receive college scholarships from our annual donation to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. At third base, we focus on health. The Dodgers Dream Foundation supports a number of non-profit organizations that focus on different health issues, among them genetics, autism, juvenile diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. At home, the focus on programs to improve the environment. The Dodgers "Think Blue, but Act Green."
