Mookie Betts' 5050 Foundation & Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Deliver Smiles During Thanksgiving Event

"The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, Brotherhood Crusade and Mookie Betts' 5050 Foundation partnered to host their annual Thanksgiving Grab and Go! Basket distribution event at the Algin Sutton Recreation Center on Thursday. We Benefit Children (WBC), which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families and children across the grater Los Angeles area, also joined the distribution. More than 700 families were provided turkeys, traditional Thanksgiving side dishes, gift cards, and basic essentials to ensure they can enjoy a holiday meal next week."

"We love this annual turkey giveaway here at Algin Sutton Recreation Center. It's a fantastic location, because it's home to our first and 50th Dodgers Dreamfield," Whiteman said. "And it's a community we serve in south Los Angeles all year long. "To be able to partner with Brotherhood Crusade to produce this every single year, give out 750 turkeys today with the fixings, with education resources, health resources and even gift cards, is so important."
