Last week, in partnership with Make-A-Wish America and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fanatics helped surprise seven kids with a Wish Madness event at Dodger Stadium. The event kicked off on Thursday with trading card trivia, hosted by Burbank Sportscards. There, the kids took home trading cards, along with fan gear that included the Los Angeles Dodgers second edition Nike MLB City Connect jerseys. The day concluded with a private tour of Dodger Stadium, which ended in the Dodgers Clubhouse where special, custom jerseys were proudly displayed for each child along with their name plate, adding a personal touch and making them feel like one of the players.   Leading up to the Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels game, each wish kid signed their own contract designating them as a Dodger for the day with Dodgers General Manager, Brandon Gomes. This was a unique honor giving them the opportunity to hang out in the dugout, play catch with a few members of the team, and watch batting practice. The two-day experience also featured surprise visits from some of their favorite players- including Clayton Kershaw and Mookie Betts as well as Dodgers Manager, Dave Roberts.   Special thanks to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Make-A-Wish for their partnership and help making these wishes come true! #onefanatics

Being a card collector and ripper, I was so stoked to see this partnership come to life!
