LOS ANGELES – Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) hosted its 6th Annual Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium, presented by LADF Chairman Mark Walter and the Los Angeles Dodgers Ownership Group. The sold out, star-studded evening featured sets by award-winning celebrity DJ D-Nice and an exclusive concert from global superstar Jennifer Lopez. A record-breaking $3.6 million was raised to support LADF in their mission to improve education, health care, homelessness, and social justice for all Angelenos.

"This year’s gala reflects our endless potential when we combine our efforts and insist on making a difference in the lives of those who need help the most," said Nichol Whiteman, CEO, Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation.

We do not take tonight’s magic for granted and we are grateful to gather in person to highlight our mission.”
