The event, dubbed the ‘Party For LA,’ is presented by the Los Angeles Dodgers Ownership Group. The program will feature a blue carpet and a pre-show dinner party followed by two hours of entertainment, including Sheeran’s concert, a DJ set and post-show party food trucks. Los Angeles Dodgers, alumni, coaches and other stars are expected to attend.

Proceeds will benefit LADF’s mission to improve education, health care, homelessness and social justice for all Angelenos. Since its inception, LADF has invested more than $60 million into the greater Los Angeles community in the form of direct programs and grants to nonprofits.

“As we look forward, the gala underscores our unwavering commitment to serving Los Angeles, ensuring that as long as there is need, our ownership group will be here to support,” offered Mark Walter, Los Angeles Dodgers owner and LADF chairman of the board.

Added LADF CEO Nichol Whiteman: “We’re honored to host the biggest night in the city as we recognize the success and contributions of our partners, community leaders, and everyday champions. Thanks to our allies and supporters, LADF accelerates community investment, creates collective power to address key issues, and builds infrastructure for sustained capacity as we support extraordinary organizations leading transformative change throughout the region.”
