The 2025 Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour featured players visiting areas affected by wildfires, including a heartfelt engagement with first responders in Pacific Palisades. Shohei Ohtani, Emmet Sheehan, and Ben Casparius met with firefighters, signed autographs, and offered support, highlighting the team's connection to the community. Significant contributions were made, including a $10,000 donation to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and Ohtani's $500,000 pledge for wildfire victims. California Governor Gavin Newsom announced LA Rises, a recovery initiative supported by Dodgers leadership, aimed at rebuilding efforts in Southern California.
"It means everything," Sheehan said. "This city is behind us, and we just want them to know we're behind them too and we can come out here and support them. Even to just spend a couple hours, is really a special thing to be able to do."
Ohtani addressed the firefighters in English to express his gratitude for their efforts. "I want to just say thank you for your dedication and hard work," he said. "We appreciate it."
