The Dodgers are a business.
They are far from a perfect organization but Angelinos can point with pride that they do try to give back to the community. One of the ways they do I have supported this month is Think Cure!
Its a straightforward charitable organization:
We aim to find cures for cancers by funding innovative research projects at City of Hope and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. An objective, peer-based panel of expert doctors reviews two-year grant applications once a year and funds are awarded to the most promising collaborative and cutting edge cancer research projects that can involve other top cancer research hospitals.
Disclaimer: As a lab bench medical researcher, I do support funding of medical research! Please know, however, that I am not employed by City of Hope nor Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
UPDATE: To find out more of what else the Dodger organization is doing in the community, go here to the Dodger Dream Foundation information page.
Rambling about soccer: LA Galaxy, IF Elfsborg, Falkenbergs FF, Liverpool FC, Queens Park Rangers, and LAFC. Also random rambling about Star Trek, LA sports (Dodgers, UCLA, Kings, Lakers, Rams), politics (centrist), faith (Christian), and life. Send comments to rrblog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
