The Dodgers have partnered with Worthy of Love to host a birthday party for children experiencing homelessness on Thursday, March 10 at Dodger Stadium.

Over 300 children from various shelters throughout the city will get to celebrate with special Dodger guests. The two-hour celebration will include face painting, a petting zoo, a dance off, and much more.

Founded in 2013, Worthy of Love is a 501(c)3 organization that throws unforgettable birthday parties for children and families facing homelessness in the Los Angeles area. Celebrating over 10,000 children thus far, the organization has aimed to create a fun, all-expenses paid experience that no child will ever forget, equipped with tasty meals and snacks, live entertainment, and participation from local vendors, including the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“The Dodgers are honored to partner with Worthy of Love to help create an exciting and memorable time for children and teens experiencing homelessness” said Naomi Rodriguez, Dodger Vice President of External Affairs and Community Relations. “Every child deserves to be celebrated on their birthday, regardless of their financial background.”

“We’re so excited to be celebrating our nine-year anniversary. For the last four years, the Dodgers have been an integral part of Worthy of Love,” said Mary Davis, Executive Director and founder of the organization.
