LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers
superstar Shohei Ohtani is donating $500,000 to help
firefighters and animals forced to flee the deadly wildfires
around the region.
Ohtani announced his intention on Instagram, with LA Strong in
white lettering against a black background.
“We'll be donating $500,000 to help those firefighters and those
forced to live in shelter to help animals in need,” he wrote.
The Dodgers and other Los Angeles sports teams are partnering in
selling an “LA Strong” collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts,
with all proceeds benefiting the Los Angeles Fire Department
Foundation and American Red Cross.
“I hope you all will consider this,” Ohtani wrote.
